Say what you will about Republican Evil; at least its an ethos. This week, when the going got tough, the Democrats in Congress got going in the opposite direction. Too scared to be painted as not supporting the troops (because how could the Democrats let anyone but the Republican Party define them?) and too stupid to realize that capitulation to a petulant President could end up losing them their gains in the House and Senate not to mention The White House, Democrats passed an Iraq spending bill that gave them…nothing. And gave the President…everything. Way to compromise guys. Henry Clay would be proud. You can tell by how much he’s spinning in his grave.
In any case, Keith Olbermann said it better than I ever could so check out his Special Comment below:
