In the news: Gephardt Attacks Bush 'Unilateralism'....

"Democratic presidential candidate Dick Gephardt on Tuesday issued a blistering criticism of the Bush administration's "chest-beating unilateralism" in its handling of the Iraq war, which he said weakened diplomatic alliances and squandered global goodwill following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"Foreign policy isn't a John Wayne movie, where we catch the bad guys, hoist a few cold ones and then everything fades to black," Gephardt said in remarks prepared for a speech to the Bar Association of San Francisco. "No matter the surge of momentary machismo - as gratifying as it may be for some - it is shortsighted and wrong to simply go it alone."

Want to know how little I think of Dick Gephardt? I love what he said here-- I've said the same thing myself before-- and I still think he comes off like a jerk.

Also, the Democrats really need to find a way to move beyond the Uranium thingy (thingy!!) and join it up with other trenchant criticisms, because Uranium is like sooo last week.

Oh wait, sorry-- I forgot. Clinton took the party's brains and moral compass with him when he left office. They are currently in a U-Stor-It in Passaic, NJ and are in need of a good cleaning, having sat untouched for eleven years.
