Freedom Dogs

We've all played that game where you walk away from a conversation, debate or argument and only later think of exactly what you should have said.  At this point of the game you slap yourself on the forehead, and it's  over.  It's not a very satisfying game.  The more satisfying game is to imagine what you or somebody else SHOULD say, at some future time.  That game is better when you can imagine your words in the mouth of some important figure, and better still when you can imagine them quoting some other famous line from your script.  The game is a delight up until the person actually says what they wanted to say (and never, it seems, what YOU thought they should say) but then you get to imagine THEM smacking themselves in the forehead, for realizing they should have said what you wrote for them.  

So here is today's game play.  Imagine Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, addressing the Senate on Monday, and in particular Harry Reid (aka Dingy Harry).  "Mr. Majority Leader, you have started this debate on health care reform by way of 60 votes, all Democrats.  We Republicans cannot stop you from anything that Democrats all agree on, so I say this to you:  Go ahead, make my day.  When you lose the next election, and you will, we Republicans are simply going to repeal this sham, this abomination masquerading as reform, and you will have lost your seats to accomplish nothing. So you have to ask yourself, do I feel lucky?  Well, do you?"   Your turn.
