Embarrassed to be a Republican

Typically, I avoid just picking up posts from DailyKos because I know that anyone who leans left probably goes there themselves to catch up on the latest.

However, I had to link to this one because I just loved the title: Embarrassed to be a Republican. In it Joe Scarborough, a noted Republican pundit says the following:

The lack of leadership in Washington, D.C., is sickening. If you look at what Republicans did--promised to do in 1994, when they took control of Congress, and see, how they've been acting over the past three or four years, the biggest debt and deficit ever. They are irresponsible and reckless on so many levels. I'm embarrassed right now to be a Republican. It's a disgrace because of the lack of leadership.

And the author of the post adds this kicker:

As kos said below, for all their fancy slogans, Republicans just can't govern. They can't deliver. They can't lead. The GOP leadership occupying the White House and the majority positions in Congress is pathetically incompetent, and Republicans are finally forced to publicly admit that fact.

It's really hard to believe how fast they've fallen...it's hard to believe it's not fiction. Perhaps this country is finally waking up.
