Magic Beans
Keith Olbermann did a compelling "Special Comment" on the cowardly compromising Democrats over the recent cave-in on the Iraq War supplemental. He speaks of the betrayal:
We sure need magic beans, since the officials in Congress and the White House who were elected to run the government are solely focused on politics, not governing. There's no one minding the store -- or the country.The Democratic leadership has, in sum, claimed a compromise with the Administration, in which the only things truly compromised are the trust of the voters, the ethics of the Democrats, and the lives of our brave, and doomed, friends, and family, in Iraq.
You, the men and women elected with the simplest of directions - Stop The War - have traded your strength, your bargaining position, and the uniform support of those who elected you… for a handful of magic beans.

The dems are backtracking on Iraq AND on campaign finance reform. It adds up to a lot of disappointment.
I agree, but Paul Krugman's NYT article this past Sunday ("Trust & Betrayal"") had an interesting take on the issue. As always, he's insightful & on target on the issues he covers.
