The Senate staged sparsely attended burial services Tuesday for President George W. Bush's long-dead plan to remake Social Security through creation of personal accounts.Here's a longer piece on Lil Ricky's political theatre.
Metaphors outnumbered mourners.
Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., said every attempt to reach across party lines on Social Security had "met with a partisan obstructionism that is as rock-solid as the marble before me on the rostrum" in the Senate chamber.
So even though the GOP controls both houses of Congress and the President, it's the Democrats fault the bill failed to get any traction.
Far be it for Senator Man-on-Dog to actually glimpse the truth: that the legislation was bad from the beginning.
Nah, it's simpler to play the blame game than it is to face reality.
