Quote of the Day

Daniel Henninger, who writes a column for The Wall Street Journal, talking about the problems the Congressional Democrats are having with health care:

It's starting to look like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are leading the Donner Party, the snowbound emigrants who bogged down in the Sierra Nevada winter in the 1840s and resorted to cannibalism to survive.

The imagery of desperate Democrats eating each other is apt. Their ideological tent may be too big to handle the health care issue.
