The Choice
The wisdom of Cokie Roberts, from ABCnews.com ..."It's been difficult to govern, really, since 2000," says ABC News' Cokie Roberts, a long-time observer of Congress. "The country has been split down the middle and the Congress has been split down the middle. There's no reason to believe that that will really change after Tuesday unless there's a huge Democratic wave."This is really classic stuff. 'Difficult to govern.' That is, during a period of six years of unified Republican rule in Washington and unprecedented levels of party discipline in the Republican caucuses in both houses of Congress.
I keep saying it, but "journalists" like Cokie are either intentionally lying or not bright enough to understand what is going on. Make your choice. Either way, they are the cancer of the Republic. Josh again:
TPM Reader GW, a regular, on Cokie ...Yes, Cokie, it has been difficult for the GOP to take bills into conference committee which includes exactly no Democrats, and make whatever changes to the bills, pass them with their majorities, and have them signed. And let's not forget how hard it has been for the GOP to govern with the so called liberal media watching their every move - wait, wait, I need to catch my breath after laughing so hard. Why is this woman on any news program?Totally. Her silliness transcends insipidness. And, yeah, it ain't a word. But her silliness is so transcendent that it brought the word into existence.
They're all part of the same corruption.
I prefer cancer to corruption. Let's just hope there is a cure for cancer of the republic.
