EVERYTHING IS STILL OUR FAULT

From today's New York Times:

Democrats, of course, had their chance to resolve the prescription drug problem in the past -- their party held the Senate for a brief period in 2001-02 -- and few issues have been more divisive on Capitol Hill.

Oh, sure, that makes sense. Even though they didn't control the White House or the House of Representatives, the Democrats could have just up and solved this problem in the 19 1/2 months they controlled the Senate (by one vote) -- 16 1/2 of which were post-9/11, with the president at or near his pinnacle of popularity. Obviously, they just didn't have the gumption!
