Reaching Out

The Democrats seem to be genuine in their goal of working together with the Republicans for the good of the nation.

Why, just a couple of days ago, New York Senator Charles Schumer wrote, "When the inauguration bands stop playing and Congress comes back into session, we Democrats will be on guard and ready to fight against the Republicans’ extreme policies," while House minority leader Nancy Pelosi wrote, "I don’t feel much like celebrating. So I’m going to mark the occasion by pledging to do everything in my power to fight the Republicans’ agenda. Tell President Bush that party time is over."

Apparently the automatic gainsaying of anything the Republicans might propose (and trying to shut down the government) is what the Democrats meant. Looks like they're trying to get al-Zarqawi to take Terry MacAuliffe's job at the DNC.
