Kerry and the rest of the Beauty Pageant should be kept as clean as possible. Bringing suit in court for something that is not likely to win is a double-loser for a politician. It is virtually impossible for politicians to win defamation suits. It is part of The Game. It is engraved in The Law.
WE should open the cans of Whoop-Ass ourselves. And, without placing blame (though I share in it fully), I'll proclaim that we've been remiss in our "duties". The Rectal Right was able to get a bunch of Delay operatives to riot in the Miami-Dade (Florida) election office and escape all accountability; there must be something WE can do to make Limbaugh's life a pilonidal cyst full of the pus of agita. (And, we can track those rioters and make sure everyone in their lives know about their behavior for the rest of their lives.)
Maybe a couple of billboards in Florida demanding a "full, fair, and balanced" investigation, trial, and imprisonment for trafficking in Schedule I narcotics and inducing an employee to break the law.
I dunno ... the imagination should be allowed to run riot. But "in the final analysis", we should be kicking a whole lot more ass than we are.
Several years ago, I made a nicely formatted chart of the Chickenhawks, adapted from the canonical chart the guys from New Hampshire drew up (I also deleted the entertainers, since I believe they are just distractions). Fifty copies went into the hands of my mother's friends, one of whom is an active churchlady at the local Southern Baptist congregation and is tired of hearing the preacher proclaim the Kingdom and Glory of Lord George Bush. You'd be surprised how effective things like that can be, especially when the preacher starts reading them without counter-rants.
People like Kerry are our standard-bearers, and the Democratic Party is blessed with several of them right now. As for us low-lifes, let us meditate on what a low-life is supposed to do ... be the Life of the Party.
Each of us have our favorites, but Kerry, Dean, Gore, Clark, Hillary, Edwards, Pelosi, et alia, all can give us sufficient cause to raise hell in their names. We should do it just for the fun of it -- I know a lot of people are upset with Hillary, but what the heck? A Rightist attack on her allows us to rumble, and probably also gives Hillary second thoughts on her DINO activities, whether strategic or sell-out. And what do we get? We get to par-tay for the Par-tee.
I'm being serious. We've been way too solemn and tight-assed about dealing with these sociopaths. We need to lay the smackdown on the Right -- Repent or Suffer!
The tide is turning toward our success, but we are less prepared than we ought to be. And yet, grassroots activism is easy to plan and execute, and painless to scuttle when the plan is dumb (like, for instance, trying to throw a pie or eggs at His (Ass-) Holiness Bush). And individuals can easily foment treason-to-tyrants on their own.
To quote that famed American philosopher, Tennessee Tuxedo, "Come along, Chumley, there's work to be done!"
