More David Podvin -- STING LIKE A BEE

“George W. Bush is the first president of my lifetime I don’t have an ounce of respect for. I’m going to bash him. My goal is to beat the bejesus out of him.”

In many ways, South is the Democratic Karl Rove. Like Rove, South approaches politics as though it were pugilism. Like Rove, South is not averse to hitting below the belt. Like Rove, South understands that winning is everything.

There are two important differences between the men. First, Rove spends his life helping to elect fascists, whereas as South has dedicated himself to defeating them. This is a crucial distinction when it comes to evaluating the propriety of their respective bruising tactics. There is an immense moral difference between falsely accusing Gore of being a psychotic and accurately accusing Lundgren of wanting to return to the days of back alley abortions. It is the difference between lying and telling the truth. The national Democratic Party has lacked someone who believes in telling the unpleasant truth about Republicans.

Not anymore.
