So. How do you think the media is treating the 110th Congress?
Was I delusional thinking that we'd actually have a honeymoom like the Republicans had? It seems to me they didn't even wait for the swearing-in ceremonies to complain that the Dems weren't "delivering" on their promises. But maybe that's just me. What do you think?

1. The 110th Congress was being attacked by the corporate media even before there was a 110th Congress.

3. The MSM seems to be salivating over bipartisanship...
Make that the DEMISE of bipartisanship. Hey, they gave it what...12 hours. The MSM wants there to be controversy, problems, fights. That is what sells their brand of "news."

4. I noticed it too. And, all this questioning whether or not the
Dems will be truly bipartisan. OMG! What a joke.

After, the repugs held all of their meetings without dems present. Voted on legislation in the middle of the night. Abused the privilege of making signing statements.

They are nothing put a bunch of lying crooks.

And, they have completely stonewalled the voice of the American people!

5. A lot better than I thought they would, frankly
My expectations were exceedingly low, though.

7. I did hear lots of complimentary things about Pelosi last night, but
Tweety's all over the Dems' case about the war, which I think is a good thing. People may not like him, but he's asking the same questions I want answers to, like what do the Dems plan on doing about this 'surge'?
