One definition of AUDACIOUS: showing an impudent lack of respect ...

A blast from the past.

The Audacious Book Salon: Chapter One... and done -- Tue, 04/01/2008 - 2:07pm — vastleft

A short excerpt:

Shorter Obama:

1. Politics used to be gentlemanly
2. But there were problems, like racism and such (and everyone had to be a "gentleman")
3. In the 60s, some of those problems came to a head, and things got better
4. Still, the Baby Boomers are "arrested development" cases whose whiny entitlement is the cause of today's political stalemate
5. It should be said that the Republicans have done some terrible things. So, maybe it's not a stalemate.
6. ... But I'm sure the Democrats have been just as extreme (even if there aren't any relevant examples). And, besides, we're losers.
7. Bill Clinton played the GOP to a draw. I'm going to succeed like he did. But differently. And more so. In some way.
