Seventy-seven year-old Washington Post political columnist David Broder, usually a water boy for Team Democrat, refused to carry the bottles one day and angered the thirsty left. Broder’s offense? Saying that Alberto Gonzalez should resign — oh, along with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said the war in Iraq “is lost.”
The Democrats seem to think that the Washington Press Corps works for them (maybe they do), as fifty Democrats have channeled Benito Mussollini and written to the Washington Post attacking Broder for having the audacity to remove his nose from their butt for one second. The Dems found out about it after Broder didn’t show up as a polyp during their colonoscopy exams last week. An immediate search party was dispatched to bring him back.
An editorial in the New York Sun speculates as to why Reid’s white flag waving bothered Broder, and it sounds as good a theory as any:
One starts to get the feeling here that some of the divides in the rift between Mr. Broder and the Democratic caucus are not so much political but cultural. The chairman of the Washington Post Company, Donald Graham, served in Vietnam, and Mr. Broder himself is an army veteran.
The notion of a Washington politician declaring a war lost even as American GIs are appearing in arms on the field of battle in the cause of freedom abroad, well it has a way of grating on those who have worn the uniform, a fact that many of Mr. Broder’s readers, if not the 50 senators, understand.
Don’t worry, Democrats. Broder’s arms are rested now, and I’m sure he’s ready to carry more water than ever for you — if he isn’t already.
What’s most obvious and somewhat comical is that the Democrats, self-described guarantors of free speech and freedom of the press, are actually writing angry letters to the editor when a columnist doesn’t fall in line. Come on, guys, it’s just Harry Reid — you’d think by the Dems reaction, Broder had called for tax cuts or a repeal of Roe v. Wade.
The problem is, the more Democrats write to newspapers defending one of their fellow slimeballs, the more everybody learns about Harry Reid. Sorry, Democrats, but your war to protect Harry Reid “is lost.”
Gonzales should go after Reid for the skeevy land deal he made $$$ on (and forgot to pay taxes or declare it), then when Reid is in court, he should resign.
Along with Pelosi’s announced trip to Venezuela to suck up to her favorite thug dictator and her proposed trip to Iran to grovel at the feet of Holocaust denier Ahmadinejad I would say the Dem leadership is in good hands! LOL!
Gonzales thought if he was just a nice guy and didn't hurt any of the powerful folks they would leave him alone. He's just dumb and totally useless to the advancement of justice. He's not interested. And it bit him right in the backside.
Leave Harry Reid behind...
It is surprising he ever got elected to office with that lousy voice he has, and total lack of charisma.
Have their been any recent polls on the Dems’ defeatist attitude? I don’t think I have seen a single one. Perhaps they have been taken, and are not favorable to the Dems, and that’s why the “news” media have not reported on them.

I just wanted to see that part in print again...
I got a chuckle the second time too.
Let’s not forget $en. Diane Franken$tein funneling $$millions if not $$$billions toward her husbands company and other China deals misdeeds. Corrupted to the core.
Liberal Democrats Resort To Nazi Tactics To Silence Opposition!

Reid needs to give us a date certain for his withdrawal from the Senate.
“Gonzales should go after Reid for the skeevy land deal he made”
I have never understood this. I do not know why Gonzales doesn’t have a press conference and announce that he is convening a Grand Jury to look into Reid’s land deals.
Now that Leahy wants Rove’s emails, Gonzales should declare that new evidence has arisen in the Sandy Berger case and that they are reopening their investigation.
Are we never going to play hardball?
