You can't make this stuff up

Yesterday, the House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced that, and I quote, "There is no one Democratic voice . . . and there is no one Democratic position" on the war.

Talk about stating the obvious. Generally, when a political party doesn't have a clue about what it stands for, this is considered a bad thing. But now it's touted as virture? What do we pay these people for? I think this says it all. If you can't win an election running against a President under fire for mismanaging a vaguely defined war while slashing taxes and boosting spending... I really don't know what to say. You just suck.

It's been passed all over the net, but Dave Barry does seem to have it right:

"The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and again that they have the management skills of celery. They're the kind of people who'd stop to help you change a flat, but would somehow manage to set your car on fire. I would be reluctant to entrust them with a Cuisinart, let alone the economy."

We need a genuine opposition party. The Democrats don't count.
