The Democratic Party Is Too Big If It's Actually Got Room For This Guy

I've never been clear as to why Mickey Kaus thinks he's a Democrat.  His Kausfiles.com blog always supports the view that Republicans always have the upper hand (and sounds depressed on those rare occasions when Kaus thinks otherwise).  He stayed with the John Edwards-Rielle Hunter story long after it had any relevance other than to the prurient at heart.  And his proudest achievement to date, in his mind, is singlehandedly electing Arnold Schwarzenegger to the California governorship (and we all know how well THAT worked out).

Unfortunately, his personal delusions of grandeur have reached this stage.  He's got every right in the world to dislike Barbara Boxer, but pretending she's somehow out of sync with the majority of California Democrats is like pretending that Proposition 13 balanced the state's budget.  Other than sheer narcissism, which would enable Kaus to fit in with some parts of the state, you have to wonder way he's doing this in the first place.  I mean, it can't be because Boxer's would-be Republican opponents are destroying each other ... Oh, wait!

(Apologies, Mickey, for appropriating your style.  On the other hand, it's not like there's a whole lot to steal in the first place.)
