From the bottom of 32 million hearts. Thank you.

Confronted with a shaking, quaking, quivering, whimpering caucus & a White House chief of staff recommending "a pared-down bill" -- what did the country's third most powerful elected official do?

She opened up a major can of political whoop-ass.

There's a diary on the rec-list slamming the Obama Administration for not being progressive enough. No surprise there. I'm generally a big fan of the diarist in question, but in this case, the diary itself is as misguided as the pitiful New York Times article from which it derives its (increasingly reactionary) progressive rage.

This is how our discourse gets broken.

BREAKING! From the Chicago Daily News:

In a stunning bit of political maneuvering aimed at addressing Republican concerns about the stimulus package in the hope of attracting widespread GOP support, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid proposed a massive reduction to the size of the stimulus package currently working its way through Congress.

"My Republican colleagues have voiced their very legitimate criticisms of this deeply flawed stimulus bill," Reid announced on the Senate floor today. "I invite those criticisms. We are all of us strengthened by those criticisms. And I want my friends across the aisle to know, with all the sincerity I can muster, that their criticisms have found, in Harry Reid, a welcoming heart, a friendly ear, and an unbounded urge to act."
