Your Daily Politics Video Blog: Matt Yglesias, former TPM Associate Editor and all-around blog star, has a new foreign policy book out, Heads in the Sand: How the Republicans Screw Up Foreign Policy and Foreign Policy Screws Up the Democrats. We caught up with him last week at The Strand bookstore here in lower Manhattan and asked him whether he thinks Democrats are ever going to get out of the fetal position when it comes to taking the fight to Republicans on their catastrophic foreign policy record.

  • It's very simple: Democrats have neither guts nor language (nor the philosophy to make either of those things possible).

  • The Democratic Party's abject failure on foreign policy probably stems from the fact that they are unphilosophical socialist power whores. For principled opposition to the Iraq war you need to VOTE LIBERTARIAN. Barr/Root in 2008! :)

  • Oh Nancy! i love the way you introduce people. You were a truly scary boss- thanks for keeping the Strand going- it is one of the greatest NYC institutions.

  • I hardly recognize Matt without his facial hair o.o

  • nanquan: Lol, your primary argument for everything you are saying is, "omg, you're so stupid, I'm right and you're wrong, all you complainers are just pussies." Meanwhile, in the real world, Prez Bush has horrible ratings, and even Republicans know he's been a disaster for the party. You need a psychiatrist and less access to a computer, lol.

  • znd: a trenchant analysis, esp. the last item, lol!!!

  • nan,

    It takes on to know one, eh towel boy?

  • Hey Nanguan, if you're so good at picking up closeted homosexuals did you able to pick up HAGGARD or LARRY CRAIG BEFORE THEIR HUMILIATING SCANDALS?!

    Can you LMAO at that?

  • i think they should have sat down and had a longer, more in-depth interview
