When was Maureen Dowd last absolutely right? Yesterday.

Scaling Wokeback Mountain

For Pelosi, the party leadership, and the so-called "centrists".

Well, it is a relative term.

Relative to the national spectrum they are center-left.

Anyway, MD is for them and against the squaddies and their self-important, arrogant, ambitious, and delusional allies.

Rahm Emanuel told me Chakrabarti is “a snot-nosed punk” who has no idea about the battle scars Pelosi bears from the liberal fights she has led.

“What votes did you get?” Emanuel said, rhetorically challenging A.O.C.’s chief of staff. “You should only be so lucky to learn from somebody like Nancy who has shown incredible courage and who has twice returned the Democratic Party to power.

“We fought for years to create the majorities to get a Democratic president elected and re-elected, and they’re going to dither it away. 

"They have not decided what’s more important: Do they want to beat Trump or do they want to clear the moderate and centrists out of the party? 

Thing is, they have decided.

And it's not what he wanted.

"You really think weakening the speaker is the right strategy to try to get rid of Donald Trump and everything he stands for?”

In the age of Trump, there is no more stupid proposition than that Nancy Pelosi is the problem. 

If A.O.C. and her Pygmalions and acolytes decide that burning down the House is more important than deposing Trump, they will be left with a racist backward president and the emotional satisfaction of their own purity.

That and, they hope, a Democratic Party more or less permanently moved significantly closer to their capitalism-hating, system-hating, white people hating, Western Civilization hating, children of Zinn views.
