"And the Clintons? Even as Hillary tries to fool us once more into believing in her political moderation, they do not dare stand up against Dean. Even though they know that Dean knows that it was the Clintons who assassinated him en route to the nomination last year, neither Bill nor Hillary utter a peep as their party falls off the deep end.
The Clintons could have gotten Ickes the job, but neither one did any heavy lifting on his behalf. Why not? I'm no longer privy to their secrets, but my guess is that Bill was too sick, sad, physically weakened and unfocused — and that Hillary, an ingénue without his guidance and leadership, didn't dare to try on her own for fear of publicly failing."

Dick may well be on target with this one. He's not the only writer who is saying the Dem stalwarts just can't work up the courage to oppose the whackos. It certainly appears to him that the Clintons grasp on the party is sloooowly slipping away. The nomination may well be hers for the taking in '08 but by then she may well be an historical footnote and the Dems a small "crank" party. Dick reminds us that Hilary is nowhere without Bill and I believe we all agree that it's looking like Good King Billy will have long since kissed the sod by then (gotta quit those Big Macs myself while there's still time!)
Someone else wrote that what is currently passing for a strategy among the Dems is what they think Newt and the Republican revolutionaries were doing ten years ago. The problem with that theory was that Newt was offering ideas to the public along with the brickbats he was hurling at the Dems. Nae, I'm afraid that "obstruct, snipe and throw your feces" is not going to win the day here.
Follow the money. Hollyweid and the other pervs control the RAT party.
I've never herad anyone call Hillary an "ingénue" before! It's not a word I use every day so I could be a little fuzzy on the definition -- but I don't think it fits Hillary Clinton at all.
