" I will drag America, kicking and screaming if need be, into the 21st Century!"
–The Next Democratic Presidential Candidate, October 2007
It’s a modified quote of a late 19th century Russian leader. An historian can clear it up.
But it’s what I want to hear from the next Dem candidate. And I want him to shriek it, with an indignant voice, into the network microphones within a week of the impending election. I don’t care if the candidate wins or not, but I want that slap to be delivered.
