Howard Dean and the Merlot Democrats
What with Tom DeLay's indictment, Karl Rove and Plamegate, the Harriet Miers nomination conflagration and other woes, some Republicans may be worrying that all is lost.
Jonah Goldberg says buck up, little camper! Because Howard Dean, otherwise known as Merlot Man, is here to cheer us up with his latest inanity:
Why "Merlot Man"? Well, funny story. According to the Washington Post, as Dean has traveled around the country recently giving pep talks to members of his party, he has taken to describing its most loyal base as "Merlot Democrats."
This is a little odd, given that for decades now, Democrats have complained that Republicans unfairly call them names, making them sound more liberal, sissified, and elitist than they really are. Years of GOP attacks on "limousine liberals," "ACLU liberals," "San Francisco Democrats" and so forth have finally paid off. That's why you always hear prominent Democrats, when asked if they're liberals, respond, "I don't believe in labels." If pressed, they might boldly say, "If it's liberal to like ice cream, than I am a liberal!"

I don't know about you, but I feel better already!
