I just watched Rachel Maddow’s interview with Senator Barbara Boxer of California who is a democrat. Watching her was depressing.
Her basic statement was “I sure wish we could to something but we’re powerless and this the way Washington works.” When asked about a purely stimulative item being taken out of the bill by a republican senator who was never going to vote for it anyway, Barbara basically said the rest of us, that is the citizens of the United States, just don’t understand how the Senate works.
Well Barbara Boxer, if we regular people are never going to understand why the Senate does absolutely stupid things, then you’ll have to forgive us when we just plain give up on you. Because that’s what we’re doing. Barbara Boxer, you are pathetic and useless.
