The Leaders We're Stuck With

It couldn't be a more inappropriate time to use the following analogy, nor could it come from a more inappropriate mouth:

Wearing a dark suit and a blue tie spotted with white ducks, [Democrat Senator Charles] Schumer marched on Mr. Reid’s right side and made no effort to conceal his utter elation. “I felt like one of three generals who had liberated a country,” Mr. Schumer later said.

“Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!” the crowd chanted when Mr. Schumer was introduced by Mr. Durbin as “our hero.”

“If we can keep our focus on the average family, we will stay a majority for a generation,” Mr. Schumer said. “That is what we aim to do.”

These people have no shame.
