And for once this is not an oxymoron.
As we noted yesterday, Wisconsin Donkey Senator Russ Feingold announced on Sunday that he would be leading the lemming charge over the political precipice by introducing a resolution to censure President George W. Bush for his rigid adherence to national security preservation and common sense in tapping the wires placed by overseas terrorists to their domestic brethren.
Senator Feingold found this to be either egregiously illegal or politically expedient, or perhaps even both, and tacitly announced his Presidential run with his Monday call to censure arms.
What he found instead was that there were nowhere near as many voles willing to walk the rock face plank as he would have thought or hoped. For his Donkey fellows in the august body to which he was somehow elected gave him the legislative Heisman, refusing to allow his motion to be brought to a vote.
This Democrat exercise in rationality may bode ill for Elephantary ballotory hopes, which are pinned largely on regular bouts of Democrat spasms of insanity. Should this indicate a trend towards at least feigns of pseudo-lucidity, the Republicans are in trouble, because they are themselves foundering, just less and less dementedly so than their opposition.
More likely, however, is that this was but the momentary glint that breeds false hope in the continued Donkey deconstruction to complete non compos mentis. Republicans will again not lose in 2006, but only because the American people do not want the Democrats to win.
