Dems Ask Generals to Lead Party

Today leading Democrats called for the Washington Generals to take over leadership of the Democratic Party. "Sure, the Generals have never beaten the Globetrotters, said Malcolm Milquetoaste, D-Mo, but we've never really beaten the Republicans either, so we can't do any worse."

In response, Republican leadership called for Meadowlark Lemon to replace Michael Steele.

"YOUR VERY OWN WASHINGTON GENERALS: Let’s remember Jack Shafer’s words about the morals of your brave, fiery spokesmen:

SHAFER (4/8/05): I started writing press criticism at Washington City Paper back in 1986, because as editor I couldn't get anybody else to do it. Writers were frightened that if they penned something scathing about the Washington Post or the New York Times they'd screw themselves out of a future job.

Aren’t they special? No, Shafer wasn’t discussing this incident—but doesn’t it almost seem like he was? For the past two weeks—first with Jay Carney, then with John Cloud—Time has worked to mainstream the craziest pseudo-con pundit there is. And still not a word from the gang at Tapped, or anywhere else at the American Prospect! Not a word from the New Republic! Not a word at the Washington Monthly! And not a single word from Josh! But then, they all shut up during Campaign 2000, when the Post and the Times spent almost two years putting George W. Bush in the White House. For twenty long months, they all knew their role. As Shafer explained on April 8, their role was to think about their own futures. Their role was to keep very quiet.

Think of them as your own Washington Generals! The Generals were massacred by the Globetrottters every night, but they got a good pay-check in the process. The Generals all knew that they mustn’t complain. Did Meadowlark Lemon break every known rule? The Generals all knew not to notice."

...apparently this wasn't it. Thanks for the link.

Well, just K, because my rec button has a glitch.
