Quark’s idiot brother is at it again.
On the House side, DCCC chairman Rahm Emanuel, he of the ballet and Clinton Administration career track, says his candidates will be attacking “rubber stamp Republicans” at a time when Republicans in the House and Senate are anything but. Emanuel thinks so much of the moniker that his staff says that he has trademarked the name “Rubber Stamp Congress.“ We expect to see it on coffee mugs and T-shirts across the nation.
Emanuel briefed reporters on the DCCC plans last week, and called Republicans “rudderless” and “divided.“ » The Prowler:
Defiantly Shaky
Which is it, Rahm—are they “rubber stamp” Republicans, marching in lockstep with George W. Bush and Darth Rove, or are they “rudderless and divided” Republicans all each going their own way?
“We don’t have to have specific policy ideas or positions,“ says a DCCC staffer. “Rahm is taking a bigger picture approach to our candidates. We’ll give them themes to play off of, but we think the best candidates will take those themes and create local issues and initiatives that catch the attention of the specific voting block they are trying to attract.“
When asked about running against the war, the staffer said, “That goes without saying, unless they are in a district that tends to run counter to that notion.“
So much for tough stands.
What do you expect from a Ferengi, anyway?
