Joe Klein= Boot Licker

In an apparent attempt to steal the title of self flagellating faux liberal from Dick Cohen, Joe Klein reminds us in his May 14th 2006 screed, that The Dickster has competition. I'll tell ya for my money I have never read a more pandering pile of thinly veiled bigoted bullshit in my life. This is just as bad as Wolf "So poor, so black" Blitzer's cock up during Katrina.

On John Conyers (D-MI)
Conyers will be chairman of the Judiciary Committee if the Democrats win control of the House in November, and he has already threatened impeachment hearings against President Bush. This is one of the few scenarios that might rouse the demoralized Republican base from its torpor. It is also likely to alienate independents, who are sick of the hyperpartisanship in Washington and will be less likely to vote for Democrats if the party is emphasizing witch hunts instead of substantive policies.

But the ugly truth is that Conyers is a twofer: in addition to being foolishly incendiary, he is an African American of a certain age and ideology, easily stereotyped by Republicans. He is one of the ancient band of left-liberals who grew up in the angry hothouse of inner-city, racial-preference politics in the 1960s, a group "more likely to cry 'racism' and 'victimization' than the new generation of black politicians," a member of the Congressional Black Caucus told me.

Klein writes this as if it is a bad thing. Conyers may be incendiary, but for all the right reasons. He grew up fighting to gain the promises that this nation swore to give all its citizens, but reneged. Now at 77 John Conyers continues to struggle by calling the Administration to account. Sorry Joe at this stage of the game John Conyers is not going to start Tom-ing it up for ya.
