How out of touch do you have to be to imagine Democrats are seen as not shrill enough?
Black defended "politicizing" the hurricane. Calling for impeachment might not be the best course of action, but if blaming Bush helps, do it: "Politics is about trying to get things done." He argued, "We can make being a little shrill okay, make people used to the idea that Dems can be hardasses."

That is what he hopes happens. What is actually happening is they have "made people used to the idea that Dems are insane."

shrill == nutcase
Bush politicized 9/11. Why can't the Democrats politicize Katrina?
