Confronted by the ugliest and most dangerous president in American history, the nearly equally ugly Democrats - certainly the most gutless opposition party in history - once again refused to condemn him or steer the country away from disaster.
All signs point to an administration that is willing, even eager, to go to war against Iran, a conflict that will make the mess in Iraq look like a picnic.
The Democrats had a chance to take a stand and demand that President Bush get approval from Congress before starting a new war - you know, just like the Constitution mandates. Instead, they blinked.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other leaders agreed to remove the requirement concerning Iran after conservative Democrats as well as other lawmakers worried about its possible impact on Israel.
On Israel? Funny, I thought the congressmen were Americans.
The insanity escalates.
