Washington Post writer Ann Gerhart covered a soiree for defeated Tom Daschle today, which could bring a Republican happy memories of November (“The way they looked last night was sad and meek. What Might Have Been hung over the room”). But with the Post being a liberal newspaper, they had to publish this silly sentence of bad history: “Elected to the Senate from the House in 1986, Daschle, now 57, was credited with unifying fractious Democrats in the mid-1990s and pushing a more centrist philosophy.” Whatever “centrist” moves the Senate Democrats made back in the “Macarena” days came from Der Schlickmeister, not from Daschle, who was more recently known for stuffing judicial nominees, stifling faith-based initiatives, opposing tax cuts, and helping NARAL raise direct-mail money.
