Cue endless whinging by GOP House members<\/a> over how they’re being shut out of agenda-setting, amendment-offering, text-reviewing participation in the House legislative calendar for the 110th Congress … exactly the same as they’ve done with the Dems over the last dozen year.<\/p>\n

When confronted with the hypocrisy of it all, the most they can do is sputter … “But … but … but they said it would be different<\/em> under them!”<\/p>\n

Heh.<\/p>\n

That said, I hope that this is, indeed, simply an initial<\/em> Democratic “Let us show you what we’re about now that we’re in charge” volley across the GOP’s bow, and that after the “Hundred Hours” period is over, the promises of collegiality and civility by the Democratic leadership will, in fact, be honored. There’s something to be said for the moral high ground, and, so long as it’s respectful of the actual majority<\/em> status of their party, that’s what the Democrats can demonstrate to the
