New York Comptroller Alan Hevesi, who is currently up for re-election, said the following at a videotaped speech for a college commencement:
"[New York Senator Charles 'Chuck' Schumer is] the man who, how do I phrase this diplomatically, who will put a bullet between the president's eyes if he could get away with it."
--Washington Post (link to news article no longer valid)
That's "diplomacy" from a Democratic politician. He actually said it not as a criticism of the New York Senator, but as praise. He explained that he was trying to say that Senator Schumer has what it takes to stand up to the president.
Democratic voters can, of course, be separated into two categories: Politicians and non-politicians. If you're in the non-politician category, taking note, those are the types you've been voting for.
