Nadler gets challenged and Bouldin doesn't get it
Bouldin didn't open his DNC talking points on Pelosi's flip-flop on impeachment being off the table I guess.
Adam Sullivan is a breath of fresh air in that he is a straight shooter, which is a rare thing in Democratic Party politics. Bouldin admires the party over principle types who try to be GOP lite to win elections at the expense of any pretense at having true progressive politics.
Too many folks have been drinking too much Nadler Kool-aid for years. Asked to point to Nadler's accomplishments in his 15 years in the Congress, they point to his voting record and his press conferences. For someone who represents the left loaded 8th CD in New York, you would hope that Nadler might have led something meaningful and dynamic just once.
As chair of the House Judiciary's subcommittee on The Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, Nadler was in a great position to lead and be dynamic by holding hearings on impeachment. What Bouldin fails to mention is that you can use a Congressional committe to actual investigate rather than just whine. Nadler seems to say all the right things, but has no backbone to take on the Bush-Cheney cabal with teeth. Apoligists for the Democratic machine and its old style politic like Bouldin expose themselves as nothing more than party hacks. If you think Nadler is a rock star progressive then you should cash in your chips and find a new hang out.
History will judge Pelosi, Conyers and Nadler as nothing more than Vichy Democrats in the face of the Bush/Cheney Reich. Bouldin continues to expose himself as an attack dog for phony progressives who tear down any attempts at changing the old guard. Shame, shame.
