[Vision2020] Walt Minnick

[keely emerinemix]

And this is what I admire most about this woman . . . not as a mascot, not as a spokesperson for anyone but herself, but as a reminder that the best serrated edge is the blade of truth wielded with rapier-like passion and precision.  I'm so tired of people who talk dainty, trip over obvious truths, and worry about being offensive in a political climate that's chock-full of it and likely requires more to address the grossly offensive injustices percolating in our midst.  Tepid toe-dipping into healthcare-reform waters isn't going to cut it, a lesson Minnick really should figure out very, very soon.

I
attended the Walt Minnick question and answer thingy tonight at the 1912
Building.  My remarks were prepared in advance and follow this paragraph. 
Although I did not call him a jackass (as he accused me of doing) after hearing
his rambling non-answers and half-assed explanations for an hour, I probably
should have.  At least Republicans are honest enough not to pretend they
are Democrats.  I can’t say the same for Rep. Minnick.

 

“Last night we lost a great
Democrat.  Sen. Kennedy was a tireless advocate for the poor, civil
rights, labor, and universal health care.  He personified the liberal,
progressive wing of our party.  You, on the other hand, Congressman
Minnick, as a Blue Dog Democrat, are the philosophical descendent of the jackasses
who formed the Boll Weevils, and the Dixiecrats –  splinter groups
that stood against all that Teddy Kennedy stood for.  Please tell us,
based on your voting record, including the fact that you have cast 60% of your
congressional votes with the Republicans, and your attitude toward the public
health care option, why you should expect liberal Democrats to support you in
2010.”
