David Broder weighs in on the Fox debate hecklers

[Cocoa]

The chickenshit says we shouldn't make too much out of it, but wastes a whole column on the nonsense.

He's also too chickenshit to say something positive about Sharpton without immediately qualifying it.

So one should not draw too many conclusions from the performance of the nine Democrats who met in Baltimore last week.

The only candidate who knew how to deal with this unprogrammed event -- the only one who figured out how to profit from it -- was, believe it or not, Al Sharpton.

That doesn't erase the many liabilities he brings into the contest, but it does show he has a quality people crave in a president -- the ability to take charge of a situation. Democrats must wonder how to graft that leadership gene onto the others.

The take-command reflex is a mighty useful trait when you are hoping to run against the commander in chief. That Sharpton is the only Democrat to display it does not augur well for the party's chances.

1. as if bush knows how to take charge of a situation!

he needs his handlers to carefully choreograph everything, including stacking the audience.

if he were in a room full of people and something unexpected happened, NO ONE would look to him for direction on what to do. NOT EVEN HIM. he'd ask his handlers, or, maybe he wouldn't even do that.

how do i know this?

that's exactly what he did on 9/11.

when told "america is under attack", he didn't give a single order, he didn't even ask if he SHOULD give an order. he just continued to follow his handlers' most recent instructions which were to read a book to children.

worst.

president.

ever.
