Dick is gone, Bush remains.

Mamdani was unaware Dick Cheney had died when I asked just now:

I don't think it helps the debate about what Democrats should do to pick an obscure thing that some Democrat somewhere may have said -- like on teaching eighth grade algebra -- and then attribute it to Democrats generally.
