Panic In The Streets

I was going to post something about the prospects for still passing a comprehensive health care bill, but I fear that any such analysis would quickly turn into an epithet-laced invective against Democratic cowardice. I’d like to think that Democrats will have their little freak-out and then, you know, actually do what we elected them to do. Never mind that Obama already is signaling his willingness to accept a thin gruel of a bill that would do little more than give people the right to bankrupt themselves buying insurance. But that’s just Obama doing his elite Jedi mindfuck with the opposition, right?
Right?
I’m still a Democrat and I believe in Democratic principles. I just wish I could say the same of folks like Barney Frank.
