11. He gets himself on TV, and flaps his jaws
in ways that undermine the Democratic party, and that our opponents can point to and portray as "disarray" in our ranks, and gives them something to point to as to what a "good" and "reasonable" Democrat should be.

He pisses and moans about how his party is undermining the Bush pResidency, as if it's the job of our party to prop up an incompetent pretender in the other party. As someone percieved as a leading Democrat, why does he think it's wrong to undermine the other party's credibility, but just fine to undermine his own party's credibility?

And didn't he go after Bill Clinton, his own party's President, during his political troubles? He thinks it's wrong for Democrats to undermine a Repuke president, but it's okay for them to undermine a Democratic one? Does anyone see any hypocrisy there?

IMO, it's important that he at least be marginalized in this party, and that it be made very clear that he speaks only for himself, and not for the mainstream of our party. He's a loose cannon, and his words hurt us a great deal, especially when they are given credibility by various news outlets.
