Was yesterday an exhilarating demonstration of the democratic process or what? Honestly, it just reaffirms your belief in our fabulous system. Government here in America really is run by the people.

Well, the people who wear meat dresses to awards shows, but the people nonetheless.

See, this is why I'm proud to be a Democrat. The teabaggers are insane, and who knows what they'll do once they're in office. But Democrats, they follow the principles this nation was built on. You want them to do something, forget that old voting booth! Get a woman with testicles to go on TV and beg.

Lady Gaga got Harry Reid to finally schedule a vote on Don't Ask, Don't Tell, so score one for our side. She's single-handedly re-energized the Democratic base, and we're ready to take on new hurdles now.

In fact, I'll bet if we got Betty White on Maury Povich we could finally get something done in Darfur.
