GOOD READ: Slaughter/Pelosi "Broken Promises: The Death of Deliberative Democracy" Report Synopsis

This is good; a Kos diarist takes on analysis of the 147 page Slaughter/Pelosi report "Broken Promises: The Death of Deliberative Democracy", slices out the crap (like a hundred pages of necessary but painful-to-read appendices) and leaves us with the report's better filets, like:

"In short, the Republicans have not only shortened the working session by nearly 8 weeks since they took over leadership, but they've dedicated a MAJOR portion of that time to debating bills that there is ALREADY A CONSENUS on!

Let's put it another way: This tactic is nothing short of a systematic shutting off of debate by 'debating' non-controversial bills. Republican leadership made time for nearly a thousand non-controverisal bills, but the House was given only 4 HOURs to debate the Medicare prescription drug bill, which involves literally hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars!"

Now if only the over-paid dog-faced (right-wing) media would report (hahahahahahahahaah) like that instead of (as usual) leaving the heavy lifting to unpaid, left-wing bloggers, we might be able to get back to (or start?) living in a real democracy in this country...

...nah.

BTW, read the diary comments for added value.
