The article is vapid. Vaccuous. Without intellectual merit.
It can be summed up as saying “Democrats blew their first year in the majority without great accomplishments, don’t know what to do about Iraq, and President Bush isn’t wavering to give them cover, but we want to pretend that he just isn’t doing anything.”
Actually, it might be summed up by "We want to pretend...".
The Democrats are peddling fantasies as policy.
