I hate you, Democrats

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D...ipshit-Missourah), fresh off he intellectual treatise on how passing legislation is hard and stuff, adds her voice to the chorus of idiot Democrats who think the best solution is to make sure that they royally piss off the last two remaining people who have faith in them and that the lesson of last night's loss is that quitting is the best option.

"As I said to somebody last night:, everybody needs to get the Washington wax out of their ears and listen and pay attention that people out there believe that we are going too far, too fast," McCaskill told POLITICO.

Yes, because if there's one thing that we've learned it's that the process surrounding the health reform battle that consumed nearly all of the year in an attempt to force some of the slightest and most incremental changes onto the health care system has been moving too fast and is trying to do too much. I know the one impression I've come away with in the health care fight is just the sheer speed of it all.

So there you are America, the lessons that a year long battle and a special election have taught us are that: hard work is hard, the glacial pace of the Senate is not slow enough, moving our health care system from about a 3 out of 10 to a 3.1 out of 10 is some gigantic leap that this country is unprepared to take, status quo uber alles, and that, when at all possible, doing nothing is the best option. Thanks for clearing that up Claire, I was worried there for a second that not enough Democrats were saying stupid shit and advocating for idiocy. Go sit in the shame corner with Barney Frank and Evan Bayh.
