where are the grown-ups?

Last night, Bill Clinton said on the Daily Show that one of the biggest problems in Washington DC today is that most Congressmen are perpetually sleep-deprived, due to the hectic fundraising and constant travel between DC and their home district required for a modern politician.I believe him.

There has to be some way to explain how an entire city can throw a temper tantrum over somebody calling David Petraeus a mean name. I would like to see a bill that requires every Senator who voted for this resolution to repeat 100 times: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.”
