Who's Sorry Now?
Could it be true? Are the Dems becoming the product of too much political correctness? By trying to include everyone have they alienated everyone?
This article about a linguist analyzing the Democrat's latest message 'TOGETHER, America can do better." isn't promising. Hey, we're pulling for you....otherwise it's no fun! So when we see the righties having a field day with the tin hat pics from YearlyKos....we're feeling a little sorry for ya!

"The Democrats' awkward new slogan may not say much more than "Anybody would be an improvement on the current bunch of bozos," yet many Democrats are hoping that it will be enough to bring the party back to life this fall.
