But the diatribe and totally irresponsible rhetoric that has resulted from the bloody event will not make the history books......and perhaps it should.
Did you ever listen to the radio, or watch television or read a newspaper story and say to yourself...."that's what's wrong with this country today.....?"
I simply had to wait a couple of days. After Tuesday's historic tsunami came crashing over the Dems specifically, and Washington in general, I honestly needed a couple of days to try and calm down. Was that a beautiful thing or what?
