Democratic Happy Dance
By GAIL COLLINS
NYT
Hey, did anybody notice that the Democrat won a special Congressional race in a Republican district in upstate New York? Apparently, she campaigned a lot on protecting Medicare.
OMG! The Democrats are levitating with joy. Never have you seen so many smiling liberals.
“I’m feeling great. I’m ecstatic,” said Steve Israel, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Israel is also a member of Congress from New York — a state where, in case you hadn’t heard, a Democrat won a special Congressional race Tuesday night.
There is no escaping our fate. We are going to spend the next 17 months hearing about how the Republicans want to kill off Medicare. By 2012, the current video on the Web showing a guy who resembles Representative Paul Ryan pushing an old woman off a cliff will look like a Teletubbies skit. By the fall, there will be ads showing the Republicans hacking their way through rows of bedridden seniors with scimitars.
