that would be Friday January 26th 7pm at Northeastern University in "West Village F 020". He will shilling on behalf of his new book "What a Party, My Life as a Clinton Family Latah" in which he lovingly depicts Senator Kerry as an indecisive loser.
Well what can Humble Elias say?
A lot of people got their hearts broke on election night '04, but the democrats and progressives of Massachusetts require no special instructions from the likes of Terry McAuliffe on the delicate art of losing, up until quite recently we've had enough to make us experts.
I very much doubt Terry has much he can teach us having helped bungle the Florida recount in 2000 and then with a smile and a wave managed to lead the entire party right off a cliff in 2002.
So where he gets off jumping ugly on John Kerry I do not know...
Other than the fact that this sort of groveling reaction-formation type behavior seems to be necessary if you are gonna get repeat business from all the trendy political chat shows in Washington DC.
Cause' the DC consultant class and the embedded punditariat just luu-uv it when we go after our own, it reinforces their own poorly hidden partisan prejudices.
So for once let us try and break the cycle...
I'm asking anyone who attends the above confab, just ask Terry one question, "Just who is he to judge John Kerry on the basis of McAuliffe's own ruinous electoral performance as DNC Chair in 2000 and 2002?"
If asked, I doubt his answer will make much sense, but it will be sufficiently loaded with bromides and unction to keep him in good with the "Meet the Press" schedulers.
Just ask him...and don't let him evade the question thats all.
