THE TORTURER'S HALL OF SHAME
(1) Senator Ken Salazar (Colorado). This guy is going to be a one-term Senator; count on it.
(2) Senator Joseph Lieberman (Conn.). Lifetime DLCer who needs to be treated like a lame horse and put out of his (and our) misery
(3) Senator Ben Nelson (Neb.). No cajones.
(4) Senator Mary Landrieu (La.) Blacks are gonna remember she pimped them for the votes that put her in her seat.
(5) Senator Pryor (Ark). Is Bill Clinton the only Arkansian capable of independent thought?
(6) Senator Bill Nelson (Fla.) Jeb Bush has you that scared?
We will remember. We will remember with our dollars and with our votes. Count on it.
This list is a glaring reminder of everything the Democratic Leadership Council stands for...Nothing!

You must have forgotten that Clinton chaired the DLC.
No, I haven't forgotten it. However, Clinton merely co-opted the Republicans' political platform so they couldn't capitalize on it; in that sense, he was more opportunist than DLC. Even though his stances on gays in the military and the "mend it, don't end it" BS on Affirmative Action gave me heartburn.
Even so, I don't think Clinton would have rolled over on Condoleezza Rice or Alberto Gonzales, but the six Democratic Senators who voted to confirm Gonzales had absolutely NOTHING TO LOSE. Their votes are inexcusable, and I swear, they are all vying with Lieberman to become the Democratic Party's next Zell Miller.
