Check out this clip of Anthony Weiner, a NY Dem, blasting the Republicans for their latest fake outrage: the non-scandal over Nancy Pelosi's non-insistence that she get a big airforce plane to fly her between Washington and DC. Note that Weiner pushes back against Republicans' juvenile use of "Democrat Party," referring ten times in just a few minutes to the "Republic Party." [ht: Atrios]

Mr. Speaker, this can’t possibly be the best they have got. This can't be. I cannot imagine that a party that governed for the last 12-some-odd years, who had a Congress that met less days than the do-nothing Congress, who wasted billions of dollars in the Iraq war doing no oversight, drove up the deficit to record heights, wasted homeland security funds, it can't possibly be that the best that party has is to now devote an afternoon talking about the security arrangements for the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
