Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey

Jackson Baker says that the understanding come to by both sides of the Democratic Party last week was no truce and point the finger at the operative who sculpted the landscape that resulted in Chip Forrester accepting an offer he couldn’t refuse:

Almost everybody considers the “truce” to be a surrender imposed on Forrester by that establishment, which, in theory, consists of Bredesen plus four of the five Democratic congressmen from Tennessee (everybody but Memphis’ Steve Cohen, who has been studiously neutral during the last three moths of intra-party strife). In reality, it comes down to 4th District congressman Lincoln Davis, and, in particular, his administrative aide Beecher Frasier.

Yes, the same Beecher Frasier who opined during last year’s presidential campaign that he couldn’t be sure that then candidate Barack Obama didn’t have terrorist ties. The same Beecher Frazier who has spearheaded the battle against Forrester almost from the moment the Chipper announced his candidacy for the party chairmanship last November. That was in the wake of the electoral debacle last November in which the Democrats managed to lose both houses of the Tennessee legislature.
