Priorities ...

Seems the war ain't a priority for Dems in Congress these days. What the fuck did we elect them for in the first place? Matt Taibbi with an excellent description of our congressional leaders.

Harry Reid:

...

Solidifying his reputation as one of the biggest pussies in U.S. political history, Reid explained his decision to refocus his party's energies on topics other than ending the war by saying he just couldn't fit Iraq into his busy schedule. "We have the presidential election," Reid said recently. "Our time is really squeezed."

...

And Nancy Pelosi:

...

Pelosi seemed especially broken up about having to surrender on Iraq, sounding like an NFL coach in a postgame presser, trying with a straight face to explain why he punted on first-and-goal. "We just didn't have any plays we liked down there," said the coach of the 0-15 Dems. "Sometimes you just have to play the field-position game...."

...

I tell ya, if (big if) a Dem wins the White House, we'd better see some swift movement on Iraq; a little leadership because the majority leader and the Speaker sure ain't providing it. Most of our woes in this country is related, whether directly or not, to that fucking war. We elected these assholes to bring our people home, not pussyfoot around with a President who has a 30% approval rating.
