Maybe we should get us some of that reform, Pappy?

I couldn’t help but think of the above quote from one of the most quotable movies of all time (O, Brother Where Are Thou?) when I read this today about how the Democrats are going to run as the “Change Candidate” in the ’08 elections... Apparently they don’t have enough Democrats to actually accomplish things, so even though they’re the Majority that’s presided over one of the least effective congresses of all time they want to run on change… From Harry Reid:

Have we stopped the war in Iraq? No. Have we gotten health care? No. Have we improved education? No. But we have been able to do what we’ve done. We’ve done a lot of things.

Let me translate. We haven’t done anything we said we would, but hey, will you elect more of us? Sounds like an effective strategy. Unfortunately I’m not sure the Republicans have fully learned the lessons of ’06 enough to take advantage of it.

Oh well, more O, Brother quotes. Much more entertaining…
