Winter of Discontent

Things just keep getting worse for Fearless Leader-elect. First, the economy skids into oblivion, taking with it companies and jobs, and putting the country into a recession that's likely to last several years. Then, he hires cabinet members who most see as practical-minded, fairly competent people (most, at least), thereby ticking off the true believers on the far left, who now feel pouty and used. Hell hath no fury like a crabby ideologue. Now, the governor of his home state, and leader of his state party, gets nabbed by the FBI in a major corruption probe. And you thought the Rezco stuff was distasteful.

Sure you want this job?

Harry Reid says he's pleased the Capitol Visitor's Center is finished because he won't have to smell the summer tourists anymore. So the Senator is saying all that hot air comes from another source, other than the gum-flappers and media hangers-on?

Smell thyself sinner.

And here I was thinking the Democrats were the party of the people.
