No, it's not a new reality show, just a new reality that seems to have taken hold of Washington, D.C. On Capitol Hill, folks are behaving badly, up to their old tricks and showing in-your-face contempt for the rule of law and violating the trust of voters. The president, too, is behaving badly, backpedaling on high-minded principles, cutting corners and calling them "compromises," and, lately, showing a Clintonian penchant for not quite telling the truth. Bureaucrats are behaving badly, doing what's expedient, not what's right. And the Republicans are at war with the Democrats, even though ideologically there's very little difference between them. Is this what we'll be stuck with for the next four years?
