Has the Dems' Winning Streak Run Out?

Yep, I admit it. This post is 100% Grade A All American Schadenfreude.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term, schadenfreude is a German word that, roughly translated, means taking enjoyment at the misfortune of others. And watching the Democrats over the past couple of weeks has given rise to that feeling. Let's take a look at some of the events of the past 2 weeks.

- The Democrats' attempts to load up an appropriations bill with pork backfired when President Bush vetoed the bill as he said he would. To make matters worse...
- The Democrats kowtowed to Bush and gave him an approprations bill that had far less pork in it.
- After a heated exchange between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on "The View," Rosie found herself out of a job a couple of weeks ahead of schedule.
- Cindy Sheehan announced that she was no longer going to be the face of the anti-war movement.
- Democrats are seeing their party being criticized from within by the far left.
- William Jefferson was indicted by the Justice Department for racketeering, soliciting bribes and money laundering. As a result...
- House Minority Leader John Boehner is calling for Jefferson to be expelled from Congress. All the while...
- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been skipping town a lot, leaving much undone. Furthermore...
- Democrat candidates for President find themselves in the middle of numerous gaffes, from John Edwards's $400 hair cuts to Barack Obama's overstating of the death toll following a tornado. And if that wasn't bad enough...
- Bob Shrum is putting out a new book highly critical of some of the past Democrat candidates. Meanwhile...
- There are three books in the works criticizing Hillary Clinton. And finally...
- Dennis Kucinich is still in the hunt to be President.

Put simply, it's not a good time to be a Democrat these days. But it is a good time to be someone pointing out how bad it is to be a Democrat these days.
