And Speeching of Speeches

Tom Hilton of If I Ran the Zoo fame points the way to a doozy made at the DNC by refuckyoucan Republican Jim Leach. He provides a clip here, while the full text lives here.

"In troubled times, it was understood that country comes before party, that in perilous moments mutual concern for the national interest must be the only factor in political judgments."

Contrast that with Trent Lott's strategy of total obstruction of all Democratic efforts, then running this cycle against a "do nothing Congress." Yuppers, gotta love those refucks; we sure know where their concerns and judgments lie.
