Almost As Funny As Last Night's Family Guy Episode

I really really hope the Dem's are sincere in their belief that a linguist is all they need to win back Congress and the White House.  Rather than vilifying this inane idea, the NY Times lauds its brilliance.  Throughout the piece there is this sense of  pure unadulterated smugness. "We liberals are so smart, so sensitive, so generally wonderful, if only we  learned to dumb-down how we speak to the inbred masses out there who stupidly believe in God and watch NASCAR instead of takign weekend wine tours, these working stiffs will see how wonderful  we Democrats really are."

The problems with the Dem's, as I have said many times, is the party has not had a new idea since the 60's and frankly for the most part runs on concepts developed during the New Deal. The party's base is made up of dying unions, aggrieved black leaders who prey on their own, and baby killers.  That's not a group who endears a lot of positive vibes.
