Jeffie of the Week

But first, we'd like to point out what a fucking disgrace it is for Joe Klein -- allegedly a journalist of some sort -- to appear on Hugh Hewitt's show (which, by itself, is beyond reprehensible) and brag about how "[William Bennett]'s a good friend of mine" -- just two days after Mr. Bennett said that fellow journalists Lichtblau, Risen and Priest were were "worthy of jail."


On to the Jeffie:


HH: I just have never seen them on PBS. But nevertheless, Joe, what I want to talk about is reverse Turnip Days, moments where candidates were not candid, and I think it hurt them. I want to start with an episode I find odd not finding it here in Politics Lost, which is the Florida recount, and the disastrous attempt by Gore and Lieberman to throw out the ballots of the military. Was that not the sort of authentic moment where we saw the soul of the modern Democratic Party on display?


JK: I think that the Florida recount in general...well, first of all, you're right about that. I mean, too often, the default position, especially in the left wing of the Democratic Party, is to not respect the military sufficiently, and to assume that anytime the United States would use force overseas, we would be wrong.


Eh, the biggest, fattest liberal in the land is Russ Feingold who, ha ha, voted to invade Afghanistan.


Dick.
