Uncouth Democrats

The Washington Times

Democrats wonder why they are losing the respect of the American voter. Perhaps it’s because they know nothing of respect in the first place. An occurrence during last night’s State of the Union speech is a perfect example.

Democrats rose, cheered and applauded when President Bush said "Congress did not act last year on my proposal to save Social Security."

Hillary Clinton, wearing a smug smirk, was among those who stood to celebrate this failure of the president. President Bush responded by raising his voice and wagging his finger sternly.

"Yet the rising cost of entitlements is a problem that is not going away," he scolded. "And with every year we fail to act, the situation gets worse."

Liberals are getting a little too emotionally self-righteous these days. . .
