Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Evan Bayh To Join Fox News

Evan Bayh's view of the world.

So... Evan Bayh is joining Faux News.  Shocker.

I guess there weren't enough lobbying jobs open on K Street?  Or maybe Chris Dodd politically cock-blocked Bayh from the glamorous job where he might actual catch a come-hither glance from a bubble-headed bleach blond so he went with the backup?

The Democratic Leadership Committee served a purpose once, much like the human appendix.  In the DLC's case, they had to remind Democrats that being pro-worker was not necessarily the same as being anti-business.  I get that.  The regulatory state reached too far in some areas.

But after the Gingrich Revolution (Reaganism without the intellectual capacity), the DLC became redundant.  They became DINOs.  Now, in many ways, this has led to the increased polarization of our politics.  Evan Bayh could always sit down with Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman and find a way to invade another country or further bankrupt the middle class.  Bully for those guys!

But given what we know to be objectively true about what Fox News does and what it means to political discourse in America, let me the first millionth to say: "Evan Bayh, you are a complete douchecanoe."

You are John Edwards' hair without the principles.  At least Edwards only wanted to screw one person who wasn't his wife.

Bayh wants to screw you all.
