Who needs to distract?

Very good - a bit of the old distort combined with the distract.
Back to the Republican Record. Since you've raised the question of Ways and Means Committee Chairmen, how about a quote from the current Republican occupant: "As members, you deserve better judgment from me, and you'll get it. Because of my poor judgment, those outside the House who want to trivialize, marginalize and debase this institution were given an opportunity to do so. " Remember that episode? Where the Capitol Police were called to silence the Dems trying to speak on a last-minute bill change?
Why are people fed up? The endless partisan shenanigans of the Rs, of the DeLays, the Haserts, and the Thomases wears thin.
Yes, we know. It's the media's fault, it's Clinton's fault, we would have done something if the media and Clinton and all those others hadn't gotten in the way -- and look -- under the Dems we'll all have to bow down to Mecca, Rangel's going to cut off funds and raise taxes, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Yes, forcing the President to go through Rangel to get a budget approved would be a damn good thing -- it will force compromise and force accountability. And putting Rangel instead of Thomas or his R successor between the Republicans and another round of pork for Alabama is also a good thing.
