The mystery is why "Give-'Em-Whine-Harry" Reid and the rest of the Senate Democrats aren't screaming daily about the Republicans' blatantly partisan, outrageous blocking of the elected Senator from Minnesota, Al Franken, from taking his seat. (See Josh Marshall, Bad News for Franken? 06/02/09)It's now seven months since the election. After Florida in 2000, every sentient Democrat, especially the elected Members of Congress, whould have been on hair-trigger alert for these kinds of shenanigans.
It's a sign of how lazy and listless the Democratic leadership has become in so many ways. No surprise there. But getting Franken seated would also be a benefit for the lazy and the listless. So why can't they rouse themselves to fight over this one? I don't understand it. I really don't understand it.
