Isn't it pretty to think so....
Damn.
I just spluttered my coffee all over keyboard. Give me a minute.
OK. All cleaned up. Except for a few stains.
Like Al From.

Um, "influential" where, exactly? Exactly influential in the Beltway 500, that's where.
First, Newt, now this. Hillary's smart, no question, and it's always good to write the agenda, but lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. I mean, Newt? The only woman in America who named "the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"—and you know whichever winger replicant's body they switch Rove into before he does the perp walk is going to run that footage 24/7 come 2008—now wants to make nice with the conspirators, and party with Al From like it's 1994. But you know what? After 11/7 (2000), "everything changed." Anyhow, good luck to her.
No, indeed. It will be an agenda designed so that loser Beltway consultants can yet again sink their mandibles into the decaying carcass of what used to be the party of the New Deal.
Oh, wait. No, I got it wrong. From's plan won't designed so that loser Beltway consultants can yet again sink their mandibles into the decaying carcass of what used to be the party of the New Deal.
It will be a "sharply focused centrist road map."
Alright, then.
Pussies.
NOTE Anyone notice the dateline on the story? Columbus, Ohio? Ground zero for the Republican theft of election 2004, and these guys have nothing to say about that. Including Hillary, I might add. Total silence. Nothing. Zip. Nada. Zilch. I guess that might get in the way of the "sharply focused centrist road map."

... named Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton today to direct a new initiative to define a party agenda for the 2006 and 2008 elections.

Indeed, Al From, the DLC founder, said in an interview that the plan was not intended to "be a lowest common denominator agenda" assembled by compromising among all elements of the party.
No, indeed. It will be an agenda designed so that loser Beltway consultants can yet again sink their mandibles into the decaying carcass of what used to be the party of the New Deal.
All this suggests that strains could develop between Clinton's desire to write a plan popular with as wide an array of Democrats as possible and the DLC's hope of crafting a sharply focused centrist road map — even if that means continued conflict with liberals that Clinton may be reluctant to antagonize.
