What have we learned today, boys and girls?

1) That the bylaws of the Shelby County Democratic Party need to be rewritten. Next time, we'll have more lawyers involved in the writing of the bylaws. That had better help the process!

2) That it took the State Democratic Party Chair to broker this deal; the question we need to ask is why?

3) That when we address the issue of expulsion, we need to make clear who can do it and who can and can't be expelled.

4) That while we are nicer to each other, there are still issues out there that turn us into rabid badgers ready to rip out each other's lungs.

5) That we need to be damned careful who we go after. I understand there is enormous frustration with AC Wharton because he has come out for Gibbons for AG; but who has stepped up on the Democratic side against Gibbons? As tough as it is to win countywide, especially when ousting an unindicted incumbent, if no one has stepped up by now, it's mighty unlikely that anyone will be able to knock Gibbons off next August. Since the Mayor has to work with the AG, he's just covering his bases.

Also, there's this: AC is STILL, I maintain, the most popular Democratic elected official in this county, so it's best not to piss him off unless you have someone to replace him.

So, take care of yourself and each other.

Oh shit, that's the Jerry Springer ending! Oh well, maybe it's appropriate today....
