The California Donnybrook: Start the Popcorn Machine

I have a good conservative friend who has lived in Washington, DC most of his adult life, where he is a registered Democrat, so that he could vote for Marion Barry in Democratic primaries, on the theory that “if you can’t have effective government, at least you can have entertaining government.”

 

That’s how I’m starting to feel about the Democratic horse race to replace Babs “Don’t Call Me Ma’am” Boxer out here in California. (Though just to be clear, in calling it a “horse race,” I know of no actual horses who have yet indicated their interest in running in the Democratic primary, but it’s only a matter of time, because diversity. Hey, it worked for Caligula didn’t it?)

 

There’s lots of talk in the media about how Jerry Brown and our two old ladies in the Senate have obstructed the upward political mobility of so many striving Democrats in the next generation, most of them members of sainted minority groups. Expect as this gets going for the organized minority groups to insist that it is their turn to have the Senate seat (because diversity). And so we’re going to see the infighting inside the entitled Left turn vicious before it is over. Start the popcorn machine!
