Cowering is what Democrats do best …

… in real life and in fiction.
Bravo is replaying The West Wing, with the episodes in order, and starting over again when they’re finished. This morning I happened to catch Bruno Gianelli’s speech when planning President Bartlet’s run for a second term, which is still appropriate, even with the Great Biracial Hope in the White House:
“We all need some therapy because somebody came along and said liberal means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on Communism, soft on defense. And we’re going to tax you back to the stone age because people shouldn’t have to work if they don’t want to. And instead of saying ‘Well, excuse me, you right-wing reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun Leave it to Beaver trip back to the ’50s’. We cowered in the corner and say, ‘Please don’t hurt me’”
