No doubt. And yet he will never come nearer to that goal than being peripheral to any "thing" of real importance. He hoped to join Kerry's major league team in '04 and bask in the glow of a legitimate contender drawing national attention, but he ended up being dumped from Kucinich's pathetic campaign which was doomed to obscurity and failure from the get-go. How humiliating was that for someone who claims to be in the inner circle of the Democrat party's elite? Kucinich can't even see that inner circle from his viewpoint, and even he couldn't put up with Pitt for long.
Pitt's dismal station in life would be almost sad if he wasn't such an insufferable, name dropping, self aggrandizing twit with a penchant for grossly pompous verbosity, binge drinking, and apparently for molesting pubescent schoolgirls. But then if his situation was really sad it wouldn't be a prime source of grist for yours and PJ's comedic mill. It all works out rather nicely doesn't it?
Watch for Pitt, over the next couple of years, to strive ever more DESPERATELY to become a member of Kerry's campaign team. And the FUnniest thing is that Kerry will be CRUSHED under by Hillary (or Gore) early in the Primary season so Pitt is trying to board a ship doomed to sink.
