Now Democrats will have an excuse for not getting anything through the Senate.

(How long until they invoke that?)

...Or, they grow a back bone and tell Lieberman to go intercourse himself.

Does this put a fire in their belly or not? Personally, I think the Senate has become a completely dysfunctional entity filled with a collection of amoral, self-promoting, anti-democratic goons you'd ever hope to meet. Pheh!

I'd like to see the senate dems give Ried the boot and get someone like Schumer in there. I'd like it if the Dems stopped bringing tea and doilies to "bi-partisan" meetings that the Repubs use to exact some sort of parliamentary gang warfare. I'd like to see Obama step up to the plate more as a leader on legislative issues. I'd like to see all this, but I stopped believing in Santa Clause and the Tooth Fairy a long time ago...

I've been saying they should dump Reid for awhile, but they're not going to. If they didn't take the "negro" comment as an opportunity, they want him there.

Maybe they like being able to push him around, too?

A thought:

Americans don't like Republican policies. They like Repubicans' attitude. And we're emotional voters, not rational voters so...

QED, the Dems need to promote their policies with a "Republican" attitude.

That's Josh Marshall's "bitch slap" theory of politics.
