The GOP’s Fright Wing

The ultra-liberal Village Voice writes: “Far from backing down, Tom DeLay and his red-state allies are pushing their fight deep into the soft underbelly of the timid blue-state homeland, drawing shrieks of rage and pain as they go.”

Soft and timid? Must be scary. Rage and pain? Wow. Somebody call an ambulance.

Republicans are drunk with power,” New York (blue state) congressman Charles B. Rangel said yesterday on CBS. “It’s abuse of power in the House rules,” said Maryland (blue state) Democrat Steny Hoyer. “It’s abuse of power in the ethics process. It’s abuse of power in threatening judges. It’s an abuse of power of threatening.”

Charlie Rangel, always noteworthy. Not afraid to really analyze the issues. Like alleging that Bush was going to reinstate the draft. And Steny Hoyer, out of the gates. People, it ain’t easy to use “abuse of power” four times in one sound bite.

Sure does sound like Democrats are frightened.
