The Dumb-ocratic Leadership

Jacob Weisberg at Slate writes that the Democratic Party leadership -- Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Howard Dean -- do a pretty good imitation of the Three Stooges. I couldn't agree more.

Notes Weisberg:

Since assuming their positions, the three of them have shown themselves to be somewhere between useless and disastrous as party leaders. Individually, they lack substance and policy smarts (Pelosi); coherence and force (Reid); and steadiness and mainstream appeal (Dean). Collectively, they convey an image of liberal elitism, disarray, and crabbiness.
