How Low Can They Go?

In the movie Grease, there is a great scene where everyone is dancing and a bandleader singing "How low can you go...how low can you go..." Sadly, this sounds like the appropriate themesong for congressional Democrats this week.

That's right, in the last week we have seen House Democrats criticize efforts to nail the GOP for being corrupt, and we now see Senate Democrats saying that Alberto Gonzales, the right-wing lunatic who authorized torture, is fit to be on the Supreme Court.

I consider myself a solid progressive who has worked my ass off over the years trying to help Democrats. That's why this is so troubling. I mean, seriously folks, what's next - a letter signed by all congressional Democrats endorsing Newt Gingrich for President in 2008?
