As great moments in press flackery goes, this was a classic case of a profile in porridge.

It is the sad fate of the political press apparatchik to occasionally attempt to transform the complete hooey of the boss and try to turn their mealy-mouthed blubbering into something sounding even semi-bold, partly visionary, almost coherent.

Here, in its entirety is the press release sent out earlier today by the Florida Democratic Party under the guise of “News From The Florida Democratic Party.” You might want to get a strong cup of coffee.

“Joint Statement from Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen L. Thurman and Florida’s Democratic Congressional Delegation on Seating Florida’s Delegates.”

And that was just the headline. Here’s what followed.

“WASHINGTON, D.C. - After a joint meeting today among Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen L. Thurman and Florida’s Democratic Congressional Delegation, the participants issued this joint statement:

“We are all committed to doing everything we can to ensure that a Florida delegation is seated in Denver. We all agree that whatever the solution, it must have the support of both campaigns.

“While there may be differences of opinion in how we get there, we are all committed to ensuring that Florida’s delegation is seated in Denver. We’re committed to working with both campaigns to reach a solution as soon as realistically possible.

“We are laying the groundwork to ensure we win in Florida in November and spent time here today talking about how to do just that. We will continue to work towards a solution to ensure delegates are seated and logistics in place for a Florida delegation in Denver.”

Let’s see here. Thurman, Dean, along with the Florida congressional caucus, which includes U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, along with House members, Allen Boyd, Corrine Brown, Kathy Castor, Alcee Hastings, Ron Klein, Tim Mahoney, Kendrick Meek, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Robert Wexler ALL met to resolve the primary election debacle and this four paragraph pile of public relations claptrap was the best these towering political minds could come up with?!?!?

As well the press release announcing the Democrats had nothng to say was co-issued by three (count ‘em, three) party press minions, Stacie Paxton and Mark Bubriski and Alejandro Miyar. This wasn’t like drafting the Magna Carta. This was a yada-yda-yada-blah-blah-blah press release supposedly reflecting the combined views of 12 Democrats and the best they could come up with was: “we’re committed.”

Now there’s a “Ask not what your country can do for you,” moment.
