I’m not even sure who to fill in the blank with there.

The media?
The Democrats?
The Republicans without an ounce of “do-the-right-thing’ in their body?
The whole damn country?

I’ve been seeing this new “support” ribbon around lately. It’s all Stars-n-Stripey and it says “Just Pretend / It’s All OK”. Because that’s really what’s going on isn’t it?

This is an awesome post (you’re on a roll lately, Sarabeth), and calls this out nicely.

The Democrats can’t seem to muster any real outrage over all of this beyond soundbites. The Republicans will just say “well, the Dems were obstructionist too”, which nicely sidesteps the fact the Dems were trying to block things the Populace was generally against. And the Dems will reply with a nice, resounding “nuh uh” and leave it at that.

Sigh.
