Nature, they tell you in physics, abhors a vacuum. and there's been a lot of extremely low pressure in the top floors of the leading Democrats lately - enough to make that old global hurricane predictor himself, Mr. al Gore, decidedly nervous.
"Folks," he shouted to no one in particular, perhaps coming out of a dream sequence wrapped in a nap, during a recent showing of his private slide show on melting ice, vacationing dust mites and drowning sea dogs, "the barometer's beginning to fall."
It seems to be, dropping off towards the left.
Hillary Clinton is matching all of Madeleine albright's physical feats and even surpassing those attributed to Pat Roberts, as she fence straddled the Iraq thing at the same progressive get together that saw Mr. Kerry vociferously renounce his multitude of previous flip-flops for an ever larger one, and where he hung out more hogwash on the Siegfried Line than there were clothes pins to hang it on.
Honest John Murtha shucked his judicial robes for a go at majority leader in November's House and was talking his way toward absolute power before the election, having found the Haditha Marines guilty of more crimes against humanity than our World War II fly boys were culpable in.
The sudden and unexpected death, dealt from above, of that friendly beacon to the left, Mr. a. M. Zarqawi has left many of the progressives without an anti-hero to bet their war chests and victories on. But now the dust has cleared, he's gone and they're back to lashing Mr. Bush for good gross editorial fun.
Then suddenly, out of the cacophony of senseless Democratic babble, Ms. Nancy Pelosi rambled into view, with a new strength of character, and a steely will to match the unique feats of Ms. albright, Pat Roberts, Jack Carter, Ward Churchill, and the late Mr. Zarqawi.
Yes, Ms. Pelosi heard the idiocy and decided that it was time to put her foot down and bring some order to the bawdy left-wing house of the un-godly, as so aptly described by Ms. ann Coulter, though her books have been officially decried by Ms. Clinton, in concert with the four noisome women from Jersey.
She believed it was time to put the non-starting "culture of corruption" campaign idea behind them all, especially with the public humbling of a misfortunate Mr. Patrick Kennedy.
Nancy felt it looked doubly awkward when recognizing its shabby combination with the Rep. William Jefferson loony-tunes, his membership on Ways and Means, his cool tax-free ninety grand, the IRS, the IMaX FBI films, the african cable hash of hoax and his stuttering staff - to say nothing of the Harry Reid free boxing day tickets and how that looked to the folks who can hardly afford bus tickets, let alone his free $1,400 ducats to watch overripe pugilists smash each other to pieces.
and when you add Ted Kennedy's windmills, John Kerry's fire hydrants, Cynthia McKinney's cop punching, and the list goes on — it was just all so tawdry to maintain with a straight face.
But nobody's squeeky clean forever, not even Squeeky Fromm.
and who needs it?
So, Nancy tossed this poorly received and often derided circus ad out the nearest open window and walked on.
Then sitting there, having her hair and nails done, she thought, hey, what about a bit of definition for the Donkey Party, the old Donks, the Brayers, the Party of Harry and Me.
What about a go at the old integrity, civility, and accountability? We've all got those attributes in spades. Look at Ted Kennedy, Pat Leahy, Tom Dodd, Chuck Schumer, Russ Feingold, Pete Stark, Howard Dean — why, they're dripping with all three.
as for Honest John Murtha, and the fact that a lot of folks are already calling him Bonus John, Mr. Majority, and Murth the Serf, I've got to put the kibosh on all of that and tell him to slow it all down - now.
John, you're off the campaign trail and back on the reservation until after the voting. Period. No ifs ands or buts. You're looking like an idiot, trolling for votes like a surf caster in Monterrey at low tide with a half moon, and hooking kelp by the ton.
In fact, some folks out of Schumer's office are even saying that some of Murtha's background is rather shaky, and they should know because they do a lot of background checks. Hmmm, they did one on that fellow in Maryland, Steele, that wasn't too favorable for him until the bloggers got hold of it and the staffers had to go and poor Chuck had to disavow them. But Chuck's definitely in the know.
and that's how Nancy Pelosi stepped behind the plate and put both her well shod feet in dust and hollered, "Play ball."
Is america ready for this brand spanking new vision of the Democratic Party where INTEGRITY, CIVLITY, and aCCOUNTaBILITY are the new watchwords?
I know, it's been awhile, especially in view of the alito and Thomas travesties, the outright lies concerning the Iraq intelligence matters, the totally contrived NSa brouhaha, the rain over the parades on the economy, the reasons for 9/11, the half—empty glasses and the like.
But now we know. The Democrats have added these three importunate words to the majesty of their plan.
