Joe Conason's Journal - Tells us all off! :) And he's right!
:evilgrin:

"Coal for the Democrats

Wesley Clark and his campaign should stop squabbling with Howard Dean about whether Dean offered him the vice presidential nomination. Nobody (other than a handful of reporters) gives a whit, and both men look silly quarreling about a deal that wasn't Dean's to offer...

And Dean should stifle his impulse to bash the Clinton presidency and the Democratic Leadership Council, as if to imply that he has always represented the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" (a line lifted from the late Paul Wellstone)...

The other players are less and less relevant -- and on the eve of Christmas perhaps it is most charitable to let that assessment stand without further elaboration. But what I won't let pass is Joe Lieberman's opportunistic snark at people who don't affect his kind of ostentatious piety..."
