Jackson Diehl over at WaPo has decided that Joe Klein and the other DLC shills aren't going far enough, so now he's throwing his hat in the ring. Not being quite satisfied with simply calling MoveOn.org a bunch of "flamers", he starts parroting the DLC talking point that the progressives in the democratic party are "one-dimensional".
I am sick and tired of these well paid opinion columnists shoving their uninformed, pea-brained factoids into semi-respectable news outlets. We keep hearing about how consultants ruin the Democratic Party and how the left is going to far. As unpopular as this might be, Bill Clinton ruined the Democratic Party. Great guy for sure, but his cozying up to Corporate America single handedly screwed America, made the Republicans viable in the last two elections and gave the DLC the ridiculous idea that it had some sort of successful track record. Bill Clinton put the DLC in power, not other way around.
Jackson Diehl is too smart and too good of a writer for this kind of uneducated pablum, but I guess if you live in Washington for long enough, you start believing the hype.
