One of the minor refrains in the various opinion pieces is that the Democrats, by not aggressively opposing the obscene behavior (normally a juxtaposition of obscene and "Republican behavior" would be redundant, but this is a whole new level) of the Republicans.
I see where they are coming from: If they don't include an obligatory swipe at the Dems, they might be asked to leave the K00L KIDZ club.
The T-shirt and secret decoder ring are just too much to risk.
That being said, they are also wrong.
Whether through luck or design (my money is on VERY dumb luck), the Democrats have allowed Bush and the congressional Republicans to take a position that over 80% of Americans oppose.
Delay has shown his lizard like visage on national TV, and Bush's numbers are WAY down.
Almost 2/3 of self described Evangelicals oppose the Republican actions.
Hee hee.
The lesson to be learned, as Steve Gilliard would say, is, "NEVER STOP YOUR ENEMY FROM STEPPING ON HIS OWN DICK", and this is the apotheosis of tool box trodding.
