WASHINGTON (CNN) -- After spending more than 30 years consulting for Democratic candidates, campaign operative Robert Shrum is using his pen to advance his own, liberal views.

"The book is about what I have seen the direction of progressive politics take, what happens to it and where I think it ought to go," Shrum told CNN in an interview.

Why would anyone doubt that his opinions are any different from those of the crapheads he has sponsored. Save the money used to buy this book send it to people who need it in Alabama and Mississippi, people who have gotten little or nothing from FEMA because FEMA is too busy kissing ass in New Orleans.

"Do you know which specific races gave him his 0-8 record?"

0-8 record in Presidential campaigns:

John Lindsay
Ed Muskie
George McGovern
Ted Kennedy
Walter Mondale
Michael Dukakis
Al Gore
John Kerry

All Shrum's handiwork.
