best observation of the day

from Frank Rich, writing in the New York Times, under the headline “The Cannes Landslide for Al Gore”:

Let it never be said that the Democrats don’t believe in anything. They still believe in Hollywood and they still believe in miracles. Witness the magical mystery comeback tour of Al Gore.

And Rich nails it:

Still, the unexpected rebirth of Al Gore says more about the desperation of the Democrats than it does about him.

Maybe the Democrats wouldn’t have to be so desperate if they would listen to the “engaged progressives with foreign policy ideas“…er, I mean the “neocons“… in their midst.
