Ship of fools

This is quote of the day from House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer:

“There’s no intention on behalf of the Republicans in the House of Representatives to try to help the president move this country forward,” Hoyer told a small group of reporters in his Capitol office on Thursday morning. “I quote Jesse Jackson, who I thought said it best, there are a lot people in Washington who want to drown the captain and are prepared to sink the ship in order to do so.”

We've all been saying this stuff for a long time now, but it's good high profile Dems are finally speaking up about it. Probably should have started sooner, but at least they're turning up the volume now. So there's that.
