QOTD

From a Boston Globe story on the debate over extending the Bush tax cuts:
In the Senate, at least three moderates -- Ben Nelson of Nebraska; Kent Conrad of North Dakota; and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut -- joined them in saying tax cuts must be extended for everyone.

When asked why his party could not agree on a plan, Senator Chris Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut, said simply, "Because we’re Democrats."

It's certainly not because of the DINOs -- at least two of the three in question have long histories of left-leaning votes in many, many situations. They've just also got a history of occasional rational ideas, too.
