I heard that Michael Moore was under suicide watch - can anyone confirm?

That is a great article by a rather solid Democrat.
It is refreshing to hear someone of substance speak on on their behalf.
To: quidnunc
Great article. Again, a sane dem trying to point the obvious out to the bomb-throwers in her party.

Please, any DU lurkers, do not read this article. Please continue working on the election machine problem. Thank you.

Very nice article and a moment of lucidity not see in the last week.

He forgot to mention - Don't select a nominee that is a liberal NE senator that goes around campaigning with a convicted child molester who is also his daughter's god-father.

Michael Moore..........should never have been appointed Democratic ambassador to the working man........ he so strikes me as the personification of the Democratic Party, in that he so robustly refuses to hear or see so many of the people he purports to champion. What is missing from his films is precisely what is missing from the Democratic approach to the electorate: the quality of searching.......... Like the Democrats, he also seems to have missed American political life since 1980. He doesnt seem to entertain the possibility that an honest-to-God, respectable, working-class American might also be a true-blue conservative, and even have reasons for being such........Democrats are on God knows what cycle of fighting a class war that is of no interest to the class on whose behalf it is supposedly being fought. The tax cut benefits the rich, so we are going to spend yet another election blasting the tax cut for benefiting the rich, never to delve into the issue of why so many non-rich Americans so manifestly could care less. Talk about strange bedfellows. Even the most accomplished novelist could not have dreamed up the unlikely cast of characters in Dimocrats Election 2004 the production.
Arrogant Kerry, pretty-boy Edwards, goofball Terayza, 527 Soros, know-nothing Moore and the Hollyweirdos.
Made into a movie, it might be entitled, " Alien Breed."

Excellent article. If the Dems have a chance to rescue their party from the frothing-at-the-mouth crazies they'd better listen to this lady.
Bush is not an idiot. Kofi Annan is not an oracle. Michael Moore is not Everyman. Women are not ovaries with feet. And to be an American is not an embarrassment.
Just so. She'd be banned from DU.
To: quidnunc
Durkin makes some valid points, but fortunately I'm confident that the people who pull the strings in the Dem party will ignore her...like they're ignoring all the other Dems who are trying to inject sanity into the donkey party. A further problem that Durkin herself ignores is that the Dems don't have any rational programs. The eternal class-warfare-we-hate-the-rich-the-country-is-in-awful-shape shtick is ridiculous. What exactly were Kerry's plans? He didn't have any, and the ones they did have (Dean, Kucinich) were closer to Castro's than a free-marketeer.
And Durkin is herself deluded if she thinks Bush's açtions are failures. Whatever he's done that hasn't turned out real well is still far better than whatever the Dems would have done. To any sane Dems who want to steer their compatriots (or comrades) back to the center I say good luck, and don't hold your breath.

Not quite Zell Miller, but nevertheless on his end of the Dem party.

The liberal special interests of the far left have hijacked the Democrat Party in a similar fashion as the radical Islamists have hijacked the muslim relgion, both causing destructive results to their respective members.

If the RATs ever give up on gun control we are going to be in trouble. It is an issue which makes many working class Americans who would otherwise vote like their union bosses want them to, view the RATs as if they are poison.
