Digby - The Eunuch Caucus

Digby channels the Rude Pundit: The Eunuch Caucus

I've been digesting this morning's hearings and I am dumbstruck by the totality of the Republicans' abdication of their duty. These men who spent years running on Madisonian principles ('The essence of government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse') now argue without any sense of irony or embarrassment that Republican Senators are nothing more than eunuchs in President Bush's political harem. They have voluntarily rendered the congress of the United States impotent to his power.
