WASHINGTON, DC—In a press conference on the steps of the Capitol Monday, Congressional Democrats announced that, despite the scandals plaguing the Republican Party and widespread calls for change in Washington, their party will remain true to its hopeless direction.
"We are entirely capable of bungling this opportunity to regain control of the House and Senate and the trust of the American people," Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said to scattered applause. "It will take some doing, but we're in this for the long and pointless haul."
"We can lose this," Reid added. "All it takes is a little lack of backbone."
The Onion, of course.

Sigh...funny like a heart attack.
(Actually it's very funny, but leaves me feeling more like crying...)
I don't know, their plan of standing idly by while the GOP self-destructs seems to finally be bearing fruit.
The wave of retirements of Republicans is building, and Bush's current bottom-out couldn't have come at a better time in that sense. We might see another ten House GOP members decide to take their ball and go home (Ted Stevens style).
But at some point, the Dems have to step up to the plate and finish the GOP off. If they make a unified push on the corruption and incompetence angles this fall, they could actually pull off a huge upset and take back both houses.
