EJ Dionne has been writing this same "See? See? The wheels are falling off the Republican bus!" story three times a week since 1994. It has different subjects on a day-to-day basis, but it's the same general story. If it's not outrage over Clinton's impeachment, or outrage over the "stolen election" of 2000, then it's outrage over Terry Schiavo, or outrage over the war, or outrage over a dozen other issues.
According to him everybody is always outraged at Republicans. Except on election day. Then, miraculously, people aren't outraged anymore. Until they're done voting for Republicans and then they get outraged again!
