At the risk of outing myself as a closet musical lover, who's seen
My Fair Lady?
There's that great scene in which Eliza Dolittle, after having lived at the home of Henry Higgins, finally gets the whole dialect thing through her big, fat, cockney skull.
"By George, I think she's got it!" Higgins yells with pride. Dancing and songs about Spaniard precipitation ensue.
I think the Democrats are finally having one of those moments.
Let's start with the thing everyone's talking about, the new
Democrat's Security Plan. If I couldn't link to it I wouldn't believe it. I don't know who switched Senator Reid's coffee from decaf this week, but they should have done it months ago. Finally, the DNC is realizing that appeasment will not work on the National Security front and are going on the offensive. Maybe they got tired of losing. Maybe they've gone on steriods. I don't know, but I like it.
And then, just today, a meme that started right here in Left Blogistan is being used on the floor of the House. Crooks and Liars has the video of four Democratic Representatives (Frank Pallone, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Diane Watson, and Louise Slaughter) taking the GOP to task for being Rubber Stamps for the president. Perhaps they've taken a lesson from the GOP and realized the only way the American public at large will listen to you is with a catchy, easily understood theme (ala flip-flopper).
Tell me something, all you elected Democrats in Congress.
How does that new backbone feel? It looks great from here.
