Eating Their Own

By The Prowler on 2.15.06 @ 11:00AM

Never mind that Sen. Chuck Schumer and his pals on the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee stuck a shiv in the back of Democrat Ohio Senate candidate Paul Hackett.

Or that Democrat Party Chairman Howard Dean is trying to do the same to Democrat Minority Leader Harry Reid.

Or that Rep. Steny Hoyer is conspiring to help fellow Democrats in the House to throw leader Nancy Pelosi over the side sooner than she would prefer.

Democrats are going after their own all over Washington at a surprising clip. In fact, the only Democrat who seems to be focusing on the team is Reid, who, according to Las Vegas sources we speak to, has been telling business leaders there that Republican incumbent Sen. John Ensign is in big trouble politically. Reid has been pushing businesses to fall in line behind his party's candidate, a Jimmy Carter chip off the old block.
