All in all, it was a terrible week for the pampered princes of the Democratic party, the ones who seem to believe they deserve to be president. At the start of the week, there was John F-word Kerry, who was in such a rage at the way he f--d up his campaign that he uncorked a screed at the president that would have destroyed all his chances, if only he had any. And then there was Gore, living out his sad fate as an intelligent man without a scintilla of political instinct or talent, thrashing his way through the national landscape, driving his party toward a dead end. The man who used to attack George W. Bush's "risky schemes" turns out to have a special role in history: He is God's "risky scheme" for the national Democrats, their very own Wile E. Coyote, always most pleased with himself just before things blow up in his face.
