Nader & Co.

[Jeffrey St. Clair]

A much different view of Dolan (or Mike "On-Dole-An", as they've taken to
calling him) has been expressed by people who are sitting in jail and by the
protesters who feel that the hyperactive Dolan, who was leading the
negotiations with the city and the cops, sold them out on Thursday night when
they had the jail surrounded and he convinced them to disperse--emptyhanded,
it turned out. According to a Washington Post profile of a few weeks ago,
Dolan previously worked on the campaign staff for racist LA mayor, Richard
Riordan. I guess Doug has finally endorsed fusion politics, afterall.--jsc
