Labour activist Margaret Waterhouse is already channelling her inner-American Democrat

It seems that Labour activist Margaret Waterhouse is already channelling her inner-American Democrat by paraphasing John F Kennedy in the header to this article for Labour Left:  http://www.labourleft.co.uk/ask-not-what-david-axelrod-can-do-for-us-but-what-we-can-do-for-ourselves-advises-magsnews/

Perhaps she genuinely thinks that President Kennedy is a good socialist role-model instead of being a South East Asia war-mongerer, bay of pigs provocateur and mouthpiece for big business.

But one must not be too hard on Ms Waterhouse.

She has to put the best gloss she can on the Axelrod appointment.

But note the telling Freudian slip when she half-jokingly writes:  (Don’t you disappoint me David !!).

Indeed. Mr Axelrod had better not disappoint the Labour Party.  They have spent a shed-load of money on this star celebrity signing.
