Feingold Turns to Dross
Written by Dave Lindorff
In a diary entry on DailyKos, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI), one of the most consistently progressive liberals in the Senate, surrendered to the Democratic Party Establishment, with an embarrassing string of lame and tired excuses for not standing for impeachment of the Bush/Cheney regime.
Feingold, who once took the lead in opposing Bush’s and Cheney’s abuses of power and their undermining of the Constitution with a censure motion filed in the Senate, wrote in the DailyKos diary that while he agreed that Bush and Cheney “may well have” committed “impeachable offenses,” he nonetheless did not support impeachment.
His reasons offered for this bizarre turnabout sounded suspiciously like “talking points” from the Democratic Leadership Council, or from the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
This is a diary entry by Dave Lindorff – esteemed impeachment author.
It should probably be in the OpEd section of this site.
I am moving it effective immediately.
It’s important to present ourselves to the world in a way that makes people pay attention to us. Using insulting slang de-legitimizes an extremely legitimate movement.
You can correct their grammar or choice of words all you like, but the fact remains, another pussy bites the dust !!
Well, that is really sad. (Although I wish the Atlantic Free Press would have made more of an effort to sound objective in their terminology… I agree with their sentiments, but “lame and tired excuses” is not exactly the language of good journalism.)
