Fiat Lux

Thw Washington Note has been flooded with guest posts this week, and this afternoon another excellent one went up: If Jack, Bobby, and Kenny Had Breakfast Today. Here's a taste:

Thinking about the results in the California House seat this week, if the Kennedys and [Kenny] O'Donnell were having breakfast the morning after, does anybody believe they would be saying anything like this: OK guys, Kerry got 44% in that District, and we got all the way up to 45%, and forced the Republicans to spend twice as much as us, to win the seat again?

In fact, if Jack, Bobby and Kenny had breakfast the day after that result, the FCC would not permit me on talk radio to use the exact words they would have used, but the word would go forth to Democrats everywhere: do not let this happen again.

Side note -- "13 Days" is easily my favorite Kevin Costner film.
