A Retorquel Question

Courtesy of Brandon Crocker:

Do many others see the humor of Al Gore preaching to the gathered Michael Moronites at MoveOn.org about the "extremism" of George Bush's judicial nominees, or is this something that can only be appreciated by extremist, right-wing theocrats?

Do the American people want Ted Kennedy, Pat Leahy, and Barbara Boxer to be the arbiters of what constitute "extremism" and the "mainstream?" I doubt it, but it seems as though the "mainstream" press does. We are witnessing an absurd farce being portrayed as high political drama. Will the Republicans steamroller the embattled Democratic minority that is refusing to back down off its principled defense of the "independence of the judicial system"?

Could be a case of Democratic yourony.
