It didn't take long for Howard Dean, the new Democratic National Committee chairman, to show his credentials as a graduate of the Trent Lott school of racial sensitivity training.

His remarks, at a meeting with the uniformly Democratic Congressional Black Caucus, that Republicans would need the "hotel staff" if they wanted to fill a room with blacks, tell us a lot about the man. They also tell us a lot about the Democratic Party that has chosen him to lead it out of its abyss.

It is clear that the democrats are so obsessed with the past that they cannot .... simply cannot "move on" (their pet expression for Republicans when any democrat has committed a crime). They are also so obsessed that they are forgetting to pretend that they care for the groups they have kept in the fold for many years. They are especially discourteous to blacks who earn a good living. It really annoys democrats for a black to not be on welfare, to not be "hotel staff", to not be beholding to them. The way they savaged Condi Rice is a perfect example.
