Democrat failure #1: Dick Gephardt.

As if there weren't already <a href="http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3571">enough good reasons</a> to remove Mr. Gephardt from serious Presidential consideration, Dick outdid himself yesterday.

The School Readiness Act of 2003 had its House vote yesterday. This bill hammers a large wooden stake into the future of the Head Start program.

The bill passed, 217-216. There were two non-voters.

<a href="http://clerkweb.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.exe?year=2003&rollnumber=444">Guess who one of them was?</a>

If you can't show up to do your goddamn job now, Dick, don't ask me to recommend you for a promotion next year.

Democratic failure #2: Joe Lieberman.

Okay, most of us have known that Lieberman is actually a Republican for years. But it's always entertaining when he comes right out and <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,92771,00.html">declares it</a>:

<i>"The anti-tax-cut, soft-on-defense, big-spending Democrats will take the Democratic Party to the edge and maybe over," Lieberman told Fox News.</i>

Dear Holy Joe: Here's a free tip. You are (nominally, at least) a prominent Democrat. If you really think that reciting your opponents' own talking points, attacking your own party's members and principles and endorsing much of Dubya's platform is a good idea, why don't you pull a Jeffords, change the letter after your name to an "R" and get the fucking suspense over with?

Also, please feel free to consume feces and cease to metabolize.
