A few friendly factoids for one of my blogging betters:

• Number of Democratic presidents since the end of WWII: 5
• Number of reelected Democratic presidents since the end of WWII: 1
• Number of reelected Democratic presidents since the end of WWII who never served as chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council: 0

With those facts in mind, I hope you'll forgive me, Brother Kos, if I hold off just a bit on RSVPing that DLC necktie party you're putting together.

POSTSCRIPT: For the record, I'm not attacking Kos here, just defending my party's presidential nominee; after all, the man is a charter member of the Senate New Democrat Coalition.
