TNR’s disgusted with a post–Bill Clinton/Al Gore party it considers weak and wimpish. A recent press release touted "several daring political stances" by the magazine, among them, supporting war in Iraq, rejecting President Bush’s tax cut and calling on Democrats to "shun controversial presidential candidate Al Sharpton."

What? Shun Rev Al? Gosh, Al's gonna feel really bad about that. Asking Dummycrats to abandon their eleventh commandement "tolerance and compassion" is a bit much. Whatever happened to political correctness?

Sharpton could actually save the DNC. When he evokes the "Clinton/Kennedey Protection Plan", he really creates a problem for all the koolaid drinkers. It's time they get out of denial.

Y'know, I think we all ought to send Al Sharpton one dollar, ask to buy a bumper sticker and tell him he'll have our vote (without mentioning it will only be in the primary). While I disagree with everything the guy stands for, he is the only Democrat in the race who tells the truth about where he stands. And he's worth the dollar in entertainment value alone.

Mr. Peretz said: "We haven’t had any trouble differentiating ourselves from them in decades. The Nation is edited for aging ex-communists on the West Side. On the Upper West Side."

This column is worthy, if only for this sentence near the end.

I've always liked TNR, even when I Kinsley was editing it in the early '90s...
