Oh, sweet friggin’ jayzus, what are those wacky Third Way Democrats up to now?<\/a> <\/strong>Why, they’ve launched another 501(c)4 “dark money” astroturf outfit, the “New Blue”<\/a> campaign which, to most regular folks, sounds like a really good name for a brand of laundry detergent<\/a> — like, twenty million dollar<\/a> laundry detergent.<\/p>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>Their announcement<\/a> is so full of wonk patois that even this old Washington kid is going into Beltway Babble Overload. I especially like the queefage about Left populism becoming “an uncontrollable prairie fire”. Ya dumbasses, you say that like it’s a bad<\/strong> thing. That’s the whole beauty of true grassroots uprising — that it’s organic, spontaneous, with a life of its own, an uncontrollable prairie fire. That’s what revolution<\/strong> is, guys.<\/p>\n

But, then, that’s pretty much lost on these Democratic astroturfing doorknobs, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
