Actor Ron Silver lit into freshman Rep. Melissa Bean (D-Ill.) at the party following the Washington Press Club Foundation's annual Congressional dinner Wednesday night.I'd say the only thing "developing" about this "story" is whether or not Drudge will get a transcript...
Silver launched into a lengthy, disjointed lecture about everything that's wrong with the Democratic Party * its policies, its politicians. Bean could barely get a word in edgewise, as Silver kept interrupting and wagging his finger at her, ROLL CALL reports.
"Speaking dramatically, Silver told his life story. His family came through Ellis Island. He's the son of blue-collar, working class Democrats, first person in his family to go to college, yadda yadda yadda."
At one point in the mostly one-way conversation, Silver interrupted Bean by calling her "sweetheart."
Developing...
Ron Silver "gets" it. He is doing what little he can to get Democrats to "get" it too, but they don't seem all that interested in hearing it. It's their loss.
Mark's Remarks
But, you see, Ron Silver is no Democrat. Zell Miller is no Democrat. At least according to the dominant element in the party today. Even though they are registered and claim to be, they are not true Democrats according to the Mikey Moores and Howeird Deans of the world.
It is just like African Americans calling successful blacks uncle Toms because they are successful or have a different philosophy.
The Democrat party has become the party of closed, liberal, non-diverse groupthink. It is no longer open to people like Mr. Silver, Sen. Miller, and quite soon, I believe, Joe Lieberman.
And notice how little credence this woman gives to Mr. Silver's story: he went on, yadda yadda yadda. Bravo, Congresswoman, that is listening to a voter, to a citizen, to ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYERS! So much for Democrats being the party of the people....
