Mamet Redux
Read Daniel Henningers review of David Mamets March 12 column (below) and his thoughts on Mr. Mamet possibly being a harbinger of things to come with the Democrats.
Key paragraph:
"Still a thought: If David Mamet says he can't take it anymore, can others be far behind? Were I a Democratic Party strategist, out on the frontier of voter sentiment, my thought would be: This is not good for Democrats. David Mamet's mind is a tuning fork of regular-guy sentiment. He's the one who wrote "Glengarry Glen Ross." He says he's been a reliable liberal all his life. All of a sudden, the party sounds off-key. What if other guys are starting to think this? What if, after Barack's charisma gets stripped away, all you're left with is "universal health care" and Hillary's blind ambition? Come November, you could be [Mamet-worded]."
Read the whole thing. If you haven't read the Mamet column, go down a couple of entries and read it first.
