Democratic majority: How to lose your way in 100 hours

By Mary Katharine Ham  •  January 15, 2007 02:57 PM

They’re up to about 17 hours on the legislative clock, and the tally is:

2 Temper tantrums on the floor
1 loss on earmark reform that resulted in…
2 greatly embarrassed Democratic leaders
1 U.S. territory that won’t have to pay the new minimum wage
5 relatives of Harry Reid’s who have benefited from earmarks
Billions in potential savings due to more transparency on earmarks.

Full explanations at the link. If this “honeymoon” period keeps up, I think I’m gonna enjoy the 110th Congress.

Thanks to Dems who backed the stricter earmark rules and shame on Republicans who opposed them (ahem, Lott).

Headline shamelessly stolen from Flip, who has the Photoshop to match it.

Update:
My bad on the sloppy HTML there. Let that be a lesson. Always hit Preview before you leave Michelle’s blog looking all low-rent for an hour.

Update:
Reid’s lost the NYT editorial page already? I thought those guys were battle buddies. Spells trouble for Reid.
