...wish I could remember (yet ANOTHER senor moment...dammit) the name of an author back in the 70's that wrote a book about Tricky Dick Nixon.....the one part that I do remember was him citing a Nixon mantra to, "always attack...never defend (your positions).."....the schleps you mentioned do exactly the SAME thing but from a "Dem Attack" position....they are miserable failures at defending their positions with substantive stuff, orchestrating a to and fro debate, only to attack others "Dickie Style"......modern day holdovers from the Podestra, Begala, Sperling, Carville, Blumenthal, Emmanuel, etc "Clinton Crime Syndicate"......
