CONGRESSIONAL INFANTILISM
Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But then I repeat myself.
-Mark Twain
When the fight gets bloody, our lily livered congressional representatives know what to do--praise themselves for boldness, then run away, dissemble, betray, cower, twist words, and above all blame Bush, to wit, "it's Bush's war."
Churchill was speaking of the British parliament but the words hold true for our own congress: "They are decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent."
