   Dennis Prager, citing the speech of 11 year Alana Wexler at the 2004
   Democratic Party convention, sometimes refers to the Democratic Party
   as the Party of Children. To be fair, he has unflattering names for
   the Republicans, too.
   I'm thinking he's right after listening to Larry Pogemiller on the
   David Strom show Sep 1. You can listen on Townhall.com (hour 2), or
   read my edited transcript. I heard a child talking.
   Take the apology he demanded of David Strom. An adult or even a
   competent politician handles this graciously, if it even needs
   handling at all. Pogemiller over-handled it, in fact, as in "doth
   protest too much."
   Take his honesty. Asked about Carol Molnau's future as Commissioner of
   Transportation, he said "I absolutely haven't given that a thought."
   How can he or any other Senate Majority Leader not consider it, given
   the circumstances? Such a question is easily, tactfully ducked without
   lying. His statements on the Governor's position seem much at odds
   with press accounts, also.
   Take his accountability. He is absolutely certain they won't push the
   state gas tax to 36 cents, and yet he takes no responsibility for what
   his chair Steve Murphy or anyone else in the Senate might do. Back and
   forth he went on this, to the point of apparently not understanding
   what job of Senate Majority Leader entails.
   We have an Eddie Haskell running the Senate. His word is no good, even
   to fellow Democrats. There is no basis for reaching an agreement on a
   Special Session.
