Well, despite what I said about not bitching about the Dems, Molly Ivins nails ’em good; too good not to quote it:
Every Democrat I talk to is appalled at the sheer gutlessness and spinelessness of the Democratic performance. The party is still cringing at the thought of being called, ooh-ooh, “unpatriotic?? by a bunch of rightwingers.
Take “unpatriotic?? and shove it. How dare they do this to our country? “Unpatriotic??? These people have ruined the American military! Not to mention the economy, the middle class, and our reputation in the world. Everything they touch turns to dirt, including Medicare prescription drugs and hurricane relief.
