"We do not strut... EVER"

In a season two episode of West Wing, Shibboleth, Leo McGarry requested that his sister disqualify herself from a cabinet appointment because years earlier she had called a reporter to capture the image of the state arresting and handcuffing two praying high school students.
Leo: “we have laws..and they are difficult and they have to be enforced… and it’s right that they are enforced,” he said: “But we do not strut… EVER.”

Nancy Pelosi reminded me of that moment today when she gave her caucus "the look."
Very proud today, of everything done today.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
