Helen Thomas says, No DLC

Calls DLCer's Republican Lite.

You got that right, Helen

Democrats need a new script:

"Are the Democrats going to be such easy prey again, neutralized by phony wedge issues and neglectful of the real issue, which is the administration's flagrant use of falsehoods to justify a war of choice?

It could happen again. The leaderless Democrats, speaking in a cacophony, are being outgunned by the conservatives and members of their own party representing the Democratic Leadership Council who are at heart 'Republican lite.'

There are a handful, including Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., a Vietnam veteran who is calling for a speedy U.S. pullout from Iraq. He also took a swipe at Rove on NBC's 'Meet the Press' Sunday for pushing the war while 'sitting in his big air-conditioned office on his big, fat backside, saying 'Stay the course.' '

He was responding to Rove's speech in New Hampshire last week in which Rove attacked Democrats for what he called 'that party's old pattern of cutting and running.'"
