Your Democratic Party in action: The Republicans "won't take YES for an answer" so we offer them even more

While it's nice to see Congressional Democrats united and on-message these days, sadly, it's the wrong message. Twice in the first 15 minutes of a recent Lawrence O'Donnell program, one or another of the spokes-Dems said this: "The Republicans won't take Yes for an answer."

There are rude ways to say what that means, but I won't spell it out for you. Sometimes the jokes write themselves.

Here's Claire McCaskill — our Blue-dog friend — bragging to O'Donnell about her surrender, and then whining that going too far still wasn't far enough.



McCaskill: "I've been somebody who's pushed my caucus for more cuts ... As it turns out, they won't take Yes for an answer." Harry Reid was using just those words as well.

Dems, is that really the PR consultant-scripted, focus-group tested, White House-approved message that you want to be sending? That you're so pathetically weak, the other side won't even accept your complete surrender? Are you sure about that?

Your Democratic Party in action, ladies and gentlemen. Here till you can't take it any more.
