Like a scene from Capra but in real life. I wonder if there was even a trace of remorse in that chamber. pin drop silence. Like a scene from Capra but in real life.

I'm so sad to see that I was right. Anyway, let's consider the same question applied to the Democratic party: The Ds just completely betrayed themselves over a corporate agenda for the future of American health care. But because the Blue Dogs don't go around threatening people (well, except for those who will die due to lack of health care) they don't seem nearly as interesting as the teabaggers. Not nearly as much fun to talk about. So why is the big story not that the Democrats just sold out America?
