A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    Greenwald Corrects Diagram on My Suggestion, Doesn't Note Correction

    Here's what I posted yesterday:

    my typo

    should read "it was the reps 1/01-6/01"

    Greenwald wrong re Dem Senate control 2000 -2002

    Don't let facts interfere, but the Dems did not control the Senate for all of 2001 and the Reps did not control it for all of 2002. It was the Reps until1/01- 6/01 (Jeffords left the Rep party), and the Reps took it back 1/03. I'll do Greenwald the way he'd do Palin: if he gets this wrong (see his diagram) he probably knows nothing. And if I misread his diagram he doesn't know how to draw.

    -- Gratefule Live

    This AM I see Greenwald corrected, which is fine, but I don't see notice of update, which this site normally is assiduous about...no big deal, but newspaper hasn't arrived yet and I have some time to kill. Hey Greenwald...you're OK in my book.
