High Broderism, with statistics
In the WaPo today, knock me over with a feather, Broder decries Democrats for not compromising enough with Bush.
I know you're all flabbergasted.
But the best part is his statistics. He sees grave trouble in the frighteningly low 32% approval ratings of this congress, as compared to the stratospheric 36% of the last one, and offers his eminently Serious prognostications as to why. I won't bore y'all with that...same old, same old.
But at the end of the same column, he dismisses an EIGHT point advantage congressional Democrats have over Republicians as "marginal," and needless to say, sure to evaporate if they don't Broderize, pronto.
He gets paid to write this? Oh, yeah, they pay Shailagh, too. Never mind.
