Elites Lost To People Power

I agree with the main thesis of this Dick Morris essay, but it does have this whopper in it: Bookstores were filled in the past year with volumes on both sides of the struggle. Tatum O’Neal and Bob Dylan couldn’t get a word in edgewise as the likes of Richard Clarke and the Swift boaters dominated the best-seller list. Michael Moore — a man neither political party wants to touch — showed his incendiary film, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” to tens of millions with the complicity of liberal movie chains."A man neither political party wants to touch"? Say what? Maybe after November 2nd Moore has become damaged goods as far as the DNC is concerned, but over the summer, it was quite a different story. When Fahrenheit 9/11 debuted, the Senate had to practically close down because most of its Democratic members went to the screening. Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe endorsed it. The State Department invited grad students at Georgetown’s Department of Government to a screening that they (State) paid for. President Clinton and presidential candidate John Kerry endorsed it. And Jimmy Carter plunked Moore down next to him in his suite at the Democratic National Convention in late July.
