No Franken defender, he!

I thank God every time I see Prof. Larry Jacobs land a quote in some piece where he gets to bash the Democrats for not being serious or credible or any number of other things that Democrats will seemingly never, ever be.

Here, he points out in a roundabout way that Hollywood Al Franken doesn't have a chance in hell of beting old Normy boy when it comes to the General Election: "There's clearly some concern among Democrats in Minnesota, and I think nationally about whether there will be a credible candidate who can really take on Coleman," Jacobs says. I feel like I have heard this quote from him a few times, now, but every time it still somehow seems fresh, new, serious, and well considered.

Let's get this straight: Larry Jacobs is the best thing to ever come out of that piece-of-shit hippie-factory known as the Humphrey Institute. He tells it how it is, which is--duh!--always bad for the Democrats. I can't believe he can manage to work at that place. Everyday must be a shitstorm of liberals getting him down for telling the truth about Democrats in his almost daily media exposure.

I hear rumors that he actually is, in fact, a liberal. But let's judge the man on what he says in the public forum and not what his actual deeply-held convictions may be. As long as he bats publicly for our side (and demonstrates that, I guess, the Humphrey Institute isn't completely lost to commie pinko big government-lovers), who cares whether the man is really speaking his mind or is just providing himself some non-partisan political cover?
