Somebody named James K (sic) Galbraith must have listened to RUSHBO yesterday -- and was determined to do him one better:

Full collapse didn't come until 1995, when Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay took control. From then on, the House became a shell, its staffs and study groups DESTROYED, its independence GUTTED, its traditions of debate and compromise THROWN AWAY. Under DeLay's gang, the LOBBY RULES! BILLS THEY DRAFT ARE VOTED WITHOUT AMENDMENT, ESSENTIALLY WITHOUT DEBATE, OFTEN WITHOUT SO MUCH AS HEARINGS!! IT'S BARELY A BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT, LET ALONE A CO-EQUAL BRANCH, FAR FROM A DELIBERATIVE BRANCH, ANYMORE!!!!!

Okay Jimmy, we don't like how the Republicans do things, but the Dems ran the House this way for decades -- which prompted a REPUBLICAN TAKEOVER. You seem to believe if we'd just hand power back to the Dems, all would be well. Unfortunately, you appear not to have lived as we have -- under BIPARTISAN CORRUPTION.

But then you're "the Lloyd M (sic) Bentsen Jr (sic) chair of government/business relations at the Lyndon B (sic) Johnson school of public affairs, the University of Texas at Austin" (translation: BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP!!!!!), so we wouldn't expect you to know better.

By the way Guardian, do you REALLY think you should call what you insist is a "blog" "CommentisFree"?
