28. Somebody put it in the comments on HuffPo
Edited on Tue Jan-24-06 07:06 PM by supernova
It's in the article about Harry Reid, I think. I saw it this afternoon while I was reading that site.

I'll see if I can find the link. BRB.

here it is:

It's in the comments to Reid: Bush Has Made America Less Safe article, The 18th post down.

MEMO
To: Congressional Democrats
From: William Rivers Pitt
RE: A bold maneuver

- - - -

I have a wild and crazy idea.

George W. Bush's delivery of the State of the Union address will take place on Tuesday, January 31, a little more than a week from now. It is my strong belief that every single Democrat present in the House chamber for the speech should, at a predetermined moment, stand up and walk out. No yelling. No heated words. Every Democrat should simply stand silently and leave.

Crazy, I know. Crazy, and possibly the best idea ever put before a body of Democrats since the New Deal.

Understand this, congressional Democrats, and understand it well: you are not dealing merely with a body of political opponents in the GOP. You are dealing with a group of people that want you exterminated politically. The days of walking the halls of the Rayburn Building, sharing a bourbon with a colleague from the other side of the aisle, and hammering out a compromise are as dead as Julius Caesar. Collegiality is out. Mutual respect is out. They want you gone for good. Erased. Destroyed.
