I want to follow up on Todd Beeton’s article on the fake John Edwards whine. Todd already took down the piece, but of course Carla Marinucchi went to the go-to wanker:

Democratic strategist Garry South, who advised Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman during his bid for the party’s 2004 nomination, said “there’s always a danger when you’re running for public office that a pattern of behavior starts to emerge. And it might be utterly unfair to draw conclusions when things add up to a pattern — but that’s what people do, and that’s what the media does.”

If you want a pattern, let’s talk about Garry South destroying the (all once-bright) futures of Gray Davis, Joe Lieberman, and Steve Westly. It is literally like he won’t hire a client without potential to be on the top 10 list of the biggest losers in the Democratic Party this millennium. There are plenty of reasons for the Open Letter to Garry South.

And can we finally retire the term of him as a “Democratic strategist” after all the evidence the Democratic Party rejects him everywhere he goes? He’s a “Connecticut for Lieberman” strategist and has the record to prove it.
