A moment in the Simpsons movie that perfectly crystallizes the Dems' spinelessness
It's the part where Milhouse tries show off his knowledge of global warming to impress Lisa, and Nelson threatens him.

Nelson tells Milhouse "Say global warming is a myth or I'll punch you"

Milhouse: "It's a myth, evidence is inconclusive"

Nelson punches him in the arm anyway and says, "That's for selling out your beliefs"

(I'm paraphrasing this whole scene)

Anyway, I thought it was brilliant. In 10 seconds, the Simpsons writers totally sum up the Democrats' spinelessness, and the state of American politics today. Brilliant!

3. Thank you! This clip should be shown to every Dem consultant and representative in DC
The movie was pretty awesome by the way. The NSA scene was also right on.
