Last night I was struck by an odd thought that seems to work for me.
The democrats remind me of the chimpanzee (General Thade?) in the 2001 planet of the apes flick when he realizes that his power is slipping away. He went totally insane and ran the gammut of emotions from rage to bargaining to begging back to rage throwing himself screaming against the wall.
The Democrats really have come unhinged.
