Howard Kurtz says no.
Twelve years after congressional Democrats were relegated to the minority offices, six years after they were evicted from the White House, the liberals are hootin', hollerin' and high-fivin' their way through the week.
"WE WON!!! WE WON!!! WE'RE TAKING BACK AMERICA!!! The Stephanie Miller Show was a full-on gloat zone this morning."
That's from the L.A. radio host's own blog , and she was so gleeful that she started playing the nah nah nah nah nah chant seconds after saying hello.
Unseemly? They don't care.
Nope. And who can blame them? There seems to be a lot of myopia where politics is concerned these days. In fact, most bloggers can only remember the last 12 years when Republicans have run Congress and forgot the 40 years of Democrat rule before that. They forget the autocratic rule of Democrat committee chairs and subchairs or the way those chairmanships were doled out.
Now, Nancy Pelosi is talking a lot about civility. I even dug up this that Pelosi said back in 2004. It calls for bipartisan administration of the House as well as a variety of rules for bringing up legislation. I'm all for civility and bipartisanship. I'm just curious if Ms. Pelosi will be proposing these rules for the House when she becomes Speaker in January.
First of all, it is such a joke that Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House. And for all intense and purposes, I sincerely doubt she will conduct the Congress on a on a bipartisan basis. Republicans will have little voice during the next 2 years in either the House or Senate.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget how the Senate was when Tom Daschle was in talking all about bipartisanship-there was none. This session will be about investigations, high crimes and misdemeanors of the President and Vice President. The Dems have had 6 years of whining and crying and plotting their revenge. I am only grateful that I am too busy to follow as closely as I might have in previous administrations.
