Why
has Congress not given slain Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknik a state
funeral, culminating in interment at Arlington National Cemetery? An enormous cortege, consisting of unit after
unit and band after funeral march-playing band, winding slowly past the White
House – what a great way to give Donald Trump the parade he always craved and
make an unanswerable political statement at the same time!
Why
are Democrats insisting on another impeachment of Trump “to demonstrate that a
President can’t get away with inciting insurrection in an attempt to keep Congress
from performing one of its Constitutional duties” when they know it would
likely only result in another Senate acquittal –thus ending up by establishing
that a President can do exactly that and get away with it?
Why
do they persist in this effort even though the President-elect they have
installed at such great effort and expense has signaled it’s not his
preference? Why so ready to refuse to be
led, now that they have a clear leader?
I’m
afraid the answer is that the Democratic Party is lacking in political
imagination, savoir-faire and, worst, instinct.
Their sense of political theater is desperately deficient. Maybe it has been since Adlai Stevenson. How can this be, with the vast preponderance
of creative artists on their side?
Don’t
know. It’s a mystery to me.
