Wheel of Fish

Ezra has a post expressing his hope that the raising of the debt ceiling and the DeLay Rules is the beginning of the tumble down the mountain for the House Republicans. Sure, I hope so too, but I certainly don't agree with this sentiment:

I've never seen more careless abuses of power, more callous corporate bidding or more politically indefensible moves. These guys truly think they're invincible, and absolutely believe the American people stupid.

I believe that the American populace is pretty stupid as well... and lazy, willfully ignorant, etc. A cynical opinion perhaps, but have the American people really shown us anything different of late? The Bush Adminstration did nothing but callous corporate bidding, abuses of power, etc. for 4 years, and they not only won the re-election but got some folks in the legislature on their coattails. I'm not saying that all is without hope, but I am certainly not going to jump the gun on this... IMO, these things are small beans compared to much of the past 4 years.

Oh, and for those of you confused about the title, go watch UHF.
