Another quote from that irrefutable testimony to the decline of reason that Mitch shared with us:

Now the same House Democrats who groused about the bill in mid-March are giddy over their role in shaping history. After jumping off a high, scary cliff, they expected to hit rocks, and instead found themselves bathed in warm water, ready to jump again.

That wasn’t warm water they felt; it was that peculiar gush of enthusiasm expressed by their little media lapdogs, such as Jonathan Alter from the “news” magazine whose editor considers Obama “sort of God.”
