More and more these days, my [writer for the liberal New Republic] morning newspaper reads like an ensemble comedy of errors cast entirely with Democrats: Bill Richardson probed! Blago busted! Charlie Rangel investigated! Eliot Spitzer ruined! Kwame Kilpatrick jailed! Bill "Freezer" Jefferson indicted! ... and so on. Ugh.
It's excruciating to watch all these Democrats clomp around in clown shoes. But, at least for now, it won't matter! Briefly, here's why not:
-Most of the Democratic scandals have been on the state or local level.
-The Democratic scandals are not linked
-The Democratic scandals do not involve top party leadership
-People do not yet think the Democratic president sucks. |
