I Think I'd Be Boiling, Too

The WaPo is reporting that some House Democrats are furious with the White House because they don't feel they're getting enough support. This tidbit caught my eye.

The boiling point came Tuesday night during a closed-door meeting of House Democrats in the Capitol. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) excoriated White House press secretary Robert Gibbs's public comments over the weekend that the House majority was in doubt and that it would take "strong campaigns by Democrats" to avert dramatic losses.

"What the hell do they think we've been doing the last 12 months? We're the ones who have been taking the tough votes," Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. (N.J.) said in an interview Wednesday.
Here's what they've been facing when they've gone home.


These guys are just getting flayed alive. In truth, you have to feel somewhat sorry for the Congressman in that video - his is the first generation of politicians that has to face YouTube videos of themselves played at them from peoples' phones. If I were them, I think I'd be freaking out right now, too.

  1. Aaaw, poor babies! Those mean, nasty icky-poo voters are actually paying attention to what the people they elect actually do! How unfair!

  2. Zero sympathy. They've brought it upon themselves.
