This story comes out of Connecticut, so it’s really more Jack Fowler’s bailiwick, but since he’s hobnobbing with the swells on the Alaska cruise, I’ll take it.

The Nutmeg State’s Democrats have decided to jettison the third and seventh presidents from the name of their annual Jefferson-Jackson-Bailey Dinner. (Bailey was a more recent party apparatchik.) Democrats around the country stage Jefferson-Jackson Dinners, in honor of the founders of their party. But since both of them owned slaves, and Jackson expelled Indians, their heirs have disowned them.

Others, no doubt, will highlight the absurdity of this – should we rename Washington, D.C., too, since neither the first president nor the Genoese explorer would meet today’s elevated standards? But I had something more fun in mind:

How about we offer the Democrats some friendly suggestions of other famous Democrats to rename their party’s annual dinners after? How about the Nathan Bedford Forrest-Roger Taney Dinner? The Alger Hiss-Angela Davis Dinner? The Lester Maddox-Robert Byrd Dinner? Please submit suggestions in the comments.
