There's an interesting column written today by Bill Moyers. He argues that for Hillary Clinton to show that she is not a captive of the establishment, she should call for the resignation of Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel and Democrat National Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. I know that Moyers did not intend his column as satire, but it was, nevertheless, one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.
Think about it. Hillary Clinton is going to disassociate herself from the Democrat establishment. Really? With the possible exception of president Obama, there is no one in America who more clearly IS the establishment of the Democrat party than Hillary. Dumping some loud mouth congressman from her position as head of the DNC is not going to change that. Nor is forcing out long time Clinton loyalist Rahm Emanuel as mayor of Chicago. In fact, it would most likely just show how impotent Clinton is. Rahm wouldn't resign; he would just stick around as an ongoing indicator of how little Hillary ever gets done.
What is even funnier than what Moyers is suggesting is that it is Moyers himself who is making the suggestion. A big part of the establishment of the Democrat party is the media itself, and Moyers is a pillar of that media/Democrat cabal. Most likely, Moyers doesn't even understand the concept of the Democrat establishment. He has spent so long inside the bubble, that he has probably forgotten what life is like outside of it.
