[lbo-talk] Jane Hamsher, dissident

[Dennis Perrin]

"The initiative is Hamsher's latest assault on what she calls 'the Veal 
Pen' - the tightly-managed coalition of Democratic groups centered 
financially around the Democracy Alliance and organizationally around the 
Center for American Progress, both in turn creations of the left in exile in 
the Bush years. She borrowed the phrase from Douglas Coupland's 1991 
'Generation X,' in which he used it to describe a generation trapped in 
cubicles."

Actually, I think Jane lifted the Veal Pen premise more recently, as it 
applies to lib Dems:
