2. E. J. Dionne is a relic of the '90's

He's been shilling for the DLC 3rd Way in his columns for years and perpetually yearns for 1992.

Why any paper still carries his syndicated column is beyond me. But I guess he just hasn't heard that the NRA has no real political power and the politicians can safely just ignore the NRA and their 4+ million voting members and extended families and friends and those annoying but pointless state organizations and the 11 to 12 million with CC permits with no political consequences.

Far smarter to listen to the handful of 1%ers that run Brady and MMM and their 14 members. (Or has the MMM totally disbanded, with their old leadership now serving time for gun crimes?)

But feel free to applaud his inanity and if you find any serious Dem running for office that quotes him or supports his ideas, let us all know. After all, anything's possible, since we have people here applauding Dick Cheney's Terrah Watch List, Scott Walker's Gun Bans in public buildings and now the Bank of America as a wise organization.
