Oh, wait. I'm sorry, that's Matt Taibbi on Tom Daschle; it's so easy to get FKDP
operatives confused. Anyhow, read The Nation on Gephardt, and I'm sure you'll agree.

Gephardt
in congress was a true friend of labor and a member in good standing of the progressive wing of the Democratic party. Well now he is different, but his past dedication and services should not be ignored especially if the Nation, Obama's poodle in the primaries, says so.

Not my Daddy's FKDP
I've had to end my support of many if not most of the Dems I used to really like. You can't run a primary the way they did and have the best interests of the people at heart. Not so much the outcome (Obama v Clinton), but *the manner* in which the outcome was manufactured. Everything since then has been unsurprising and not unexpected.
