Looks like the Democrats are once again helping Wal-Mart with its troubles. The press has reported today in a number of places, including The New York Times, the hiring of Leslie Dach, “a prominent Democratic operative who advised President Bill Clinton during the impeachment process, would join the company in August.”

Last Fall, I raised the troubling connection between Wal-Mart and the Democratic Party. I still believe this is an issue the party leadership has to be pressed on, certainly by the labor movement.
