The True Tragedy of Yesterday's Democratic Action

Predictably, there was a lot written about the Harry Reid and the Democrats' muscle flexing yesterday. As always, Dan Froomkin's White House Briefing is a good place to start for an overview. But what really brought home the gravity of the situation was a comment that was reported in Dana Milbank's Washington Sketch:

"Republicans are outraged," Sen. Christopher Bond (R-Mo.) reported. "I just ate lunch, and it's upset my stomach."

Here's hoping the Republicans need some Alka-Seltzer more often.
