The Un-Macaca

I know we were all thrilled to shove George Felix Allen Jr. out of the Senate and into the cold, cruel world of wingnut welfare, but I'm not sure how many people realize just what a terrific find his replacement is going to be.

Check out this brilliant op-ed piece by Jim Webb in the Wall Street Journal. He's going to be a great voice for economic populism in the Senate and a nice face for the party on these issues.

Outstanding. He described what my slow witted mind has spent the last 15 year trying to describe. Maybe if I had a speechwriter....

Stop by the Whiskey Bar for Billmon's take on this. It's real goooood.

I second the Billmon thing. He shows why this article is even more amazing than you think it is.

Thanks for the Billmon tip. Very nice.

I really, really hope the Democrats take up the populist tip in 2008. The time is so right for it, and John Edwards would be the perfect messenger.

Edwards-Obama. Bring it.
