"Harry, Chuck, Nancy, Rahm: it’s time to get on board, for real. For extra credit, give Sister Joe a wedgie: ask him publicly if he supports the federal judge’s ruling that the NSA warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional. C’mon: you won’t believe how fun it is! If he supports the court, his new wingnut friends will abandon him and look for a true authoritarian cultist candidate, instead of mamby pamby faithless Joe. If he comes out against the ruling, you have a true accountability narrative to buttress your "new direction" theme for November. See how easy this is?"
