Digby has a great post up about the stupid Washington Village and it's incestuous relationships. Go give it a read. It offers a window into the nonsense that is social Washington and one of the reasons we're so screwed up. Here's a concluding graf:

Capitol Hill hasn't become the laughing stock of the nation because of its partisanship. It's become the laughing stock of the nation because the Republicans have spent the last seven years diagnosing brain injuries from the floor of the senate, molesting high school boys, stealing the country blind and starting wars for no good reason (all of which the Republicans seemed to "get done" very handily.) In the eight years before that they spent the entire time obsessing about phony scandals and semen stains. If we don't laugh we'll never stop crying about what they've done to our country.
