You're right of course. It's just that bad as Reid and some others are, McConnell, Coburn, et. al. are even worse--hard as that is to imagine sometimes. Democrats do, however, need to find a way to hold Democrats like Reid accountable without risking a return to the DeLay school of government. I wish I knew how to do that. Maybe the best way is to hold the press accountable, the way you did with Joe Klein, starting with the Washington Post, the NY Times, Tim Russert, Howard Kurtz, and most especially that pathetic little panderer to the right Chris Matthews. He is sick with his hatred of Democrats, both Clintons, and eventually Edwards and Obama if either wins the nomination. His crushes on Republican bullies like Bush and Guiliani is creepy. If the Democrats had less to fear from MSM lies, maybe they would grow a backbone. I for one can't stand another 6 years like the past 6 years. I'd slit my throat. So we can't risk a return to the Bush years.
