Fish Gonna Swim, Republicans Gonna Be Mean

So why the fuck would you care if they're going to be mean for any particular reason?

Democrats said they did not relish the prospect of leaving Washington for a Memorial Day break — the second recess since the financing fight began — and leaving themselves vulnerable to White House attacks that they were again on vacation while the troops were wanting. That criticism seemed more politically threatening to them than the anger Democrats knew they would draw from the left by bowing to Mr. Bush.

Are you kidding me? The President spent the entire election season last year essentially saying that Democrats would be responsible for getting American babies blown up if elected, and we WON THE ELECTION RESOUNDINGLY!

I'll tell you, the excuses being made for this inexcusable el foldo move are worse than the move itself. Saying we actually won? Puh-leeze. We're not idiots. The winners and losers are clear.

We need WHOLESALE changes in the Democratic leadership, particularly the consultant class that literally have no idea what they're doing. I predict the rank-and-file will by and large do us proud today. It's the leadership that deserves the blame.
