Feeling Cheated by Nebraska Democrats

The worst of all Douglas Street Rag columnists, Robert Nelson, wrote yesterday that the Nebraska Democratic Party needs to step up its recruitment efforts in order to find someone to run against Governor Heineman. Seems Nelson even discovered Larry Sabato whom we've referenced numerous times in the past. He might also have checked out Stuart Rothenberg's column which we referenced several days ago.

In any event, after telling us how cheated he felt that the Dems weren't offering a candidate (sacrificial lamb) he made the following statement:

"Heineman is a career political operative who has his base in rural Nebraska on the right side of his party. He's also another white guy (our italics) in Nebraska politics."

Once again, Nelson makes an unsubstantiated claim regarding rural Nebraska and the 'right side'. And then he makes his white guy comment. Would someone please tell us what that was supposed to mean? Does he want Ernie Chambers to change parties and run? Maybe he wants Jose to get his citizenship and run? Maybe he's still feeling guilty for slavery which we believe he's written about before?

Nelson never fails to amuse us with his mindless, inane tripe. That the Douglas Street Rag continues to employ this vacuous excuse for a columnist only displays the mind set that has reduced its daily iteration to a bunch of advertisements with reporters of similar quality to Nelson.

Hey but they're bringing Rainbow back, just to show you how desperate it's getting. Will Rainbow replace Robert?
