On Congressional Debate of MoveOn.org and Rush Limbaugh

“…the smallest minds and the selfishest souls and the cowardliest hearts that God makes.”
-Mark Twain, letter fragment, 1891

MoveOn.org’s ad and most of what I hear Limbaugh say is designed to provoke. And provoke it does: hours on end of meaningless pronouncements and shortsighted platitudes, while accomplishing nothing – no binding legislative action from this legislative body – except to further the divisive nature of character assassination through partisan politics.  

This isn’t what we elect a congress to do, is it?
