What's particularly interesting here is that the GOP NEVER airs their dirty laundry in public. Hell, they almost seem never to even HAVE dirty laundry. They are always in lockstep message-wise, and vote-wise. Whereas it's usually the Dems who are sniping at each other. Not anymore:-)
One lawmaker lectures a second about the need for sacrifice in time of war. A third accuses others of preening for television cameras rather than working on Iraq.
And that's just the Republicans, scuffling out of the Capitol for a 10-day break, legislative accomplishments hard to come by and their own election-year poll ratings in a slump that rivals President Bush's.
'They have no new ideas and no new answers for the American people,' jabbed N.J. Rep. Robert Menendez, third-ranking Democrat in the House.
