Such bitter, bitter medicine

I'm still absorbing the fact that the Dems may have quite possibly found their spines and are starting to take the conservatives-run-amok to task for Plamegate, Iraq, and spiked intelligence.

What isn't so shocking is the hissy fit GOP'ers like Bill Frist are pitching over this. No one expects them to be jazzed about the closed-door session of Congress. No one, least of all I, expects them to be enamoured of the thought that they may just get their asses handed back to them.

What boggles my mind is that Frist and co. are bleating on and on about how this is so unfair, insulted, and shocked, shocked that anyone could be so dastardly as to question the executive leadership of this country.

Well, enough. I think it's high time we did something like this. My only beef is that we didn't do this before, that people didn't look askance at the war and the rumblings for war before this whole dungstorm started. What, exactly, are we supposed to do? Smile and ask for more? Maybe in some parallel universe this is how accountability works, but not here.

Let's not forget, this comes from the same party whose members liken bipartisanship to date rape, who trampled all over dissent, who questioned the patriotism of anyone who questioned our Holy and Ordained by God, President Bush. So you'll just have to forgive me if I roll my eyes at his tantrum. This is a slap in the face to him? He can't trust Harry Reid? The GOP's been hitting us in the face with a closed fist since they indulged their creepy obsession with the Clintons. I will shed no tears when a party of liars start whining about untrustworthiness.
