Earlier hopes of a new era of civility quickly dissipated with the pensions bill. Republicans claimed that, without their knowledge, Democrats made last-minute changes that were written on a napkin.

I have to admit, that is pretty funny. Republicans need to quit their whining. This is politics, and specifically this is the U.S. House. Between earmarks, immigration and scandals, Republicans ran one of the worst campaigns I've ever seen. They lost, and this is how things work..

Sorry, but I just can't get teary-eyed over the Republican's current plight. If they want to be players then, dammit, win in 2008! Get a backbone, stand for conservative principles and, maybe, then you will take back the House. Will that happen? I'm not ready to bet my house on it yet.
