I say that finger-pointing is EXACTLY what we need. Unless politicians start to modify their behaviors by curtailing practices they themselves have railed against, NOTHING is going to change.
You can't just let the party in power roll right over the other (or over their own in this case), not point out their mistake, and expect them to never do it again. That is just wishful thinking.
At some point the gauntlet must be thrown down, and those in power must point to past examples of partisan behavior, whether from the 'Dems' or the 'Reps', and say enough is enough.
What we saw last week was not in keeping with the spirit with which Hastert assumed the Speaker-ship.
