Capitualtion Syndrome: Dems got it

The Democrats have no idea what "overwhelming majority" means. They seriously can't operate from a position of power. They've got Capitualtion Syndrome.

It's been a contagious affliction, spreading to the establishment press, and the Democratic Party, almost a whole. It goes like this:

Anything that might cause the Republicans to flip their shit must be abandoned.

In this case, the president shouldn't accept the Nobel Prize because Republicans are outraged.

Turn down the award because the Republicans are pitching a fit. Defund ACORN because the Republicans are pitching a fit. Don't finance the president's effort to close Gitmo because the Republicans are pitching a fit. Drop end-of-life consultations because the Republicans are pitching a fit.

CBS' Chip Reid continues this line of douchebaggery, and Robert Gibbs, to his credit, blows him out of the water.

WHY should ANY American President apologize for receiving an award that increases our stature in the civilized world?

Are these guys totally nuts, idiots, or assholes? Pick two.
