"If The Democrats Can Grow A Backbone..."

Jon used that phrase in the comments section of the last post, and yes, I am taking him waaay out of context, but it prompted me to think of the gelatinous mass above. Welcome to my mental image of the Democratic Party. There are still a few useful parts...I think the fang hanging on the right side of its mouth is Russ Feingold, the vestigial flippers are Kucinich and Leahy, Waxman is maybe the nose.

Update: Why yes, failure is their preferred option: Senate panel rejects gov't-run insurance plan

Pretty much sums up my opinion of them right now.

Jon--

always wondered where that phrase came from.

Bee--

yes...having given the legal household maximum to the Obama campaign, and contributions to various progressive politicians, it's a disgusting day. Not an unexpected one, and things have to get worse before they get better. The problem is with the "how much" part of worse.
