Democrat follies

Two articles today that shows the DNC needs to have SOMEONE in charge of common sense and look at a calendar once in a while.

Eric Fettman at The New York Post who writes:

The opening night of next month's Democratic convention in Boston is set to feature an emotional party tribute to hometown hero Ted Kennedy, who has served in office longer than every other senator but one.

Guess no one at the Democratic National Committee took a close look at the calendar: That July 26 salute to Teddy just happens to coincide with . . . the 35th anniversary of Chappaquiddick.

Now while the Democrats might think the Republicans would bring up Chappaquiddick anyway, honoring Teddy on the 35th anniversary of the accident is just in poor taste and asking for the country to remember the character of Kerry's mentor, when Kerry is running on a platform of "character counts".

The Florida Times is asking the Democrats to explain their opposition on the war in Iraq while in the same breath supporting the war in Yugoslavia.

You'd think someone at the DNC would at least be aware of these issues (before they are raised in the press) and be ready to counter them, but they don't. This is not helping their man or their platform in the election.
