Dems on the Go-Go...

Via John at AMERICAblog comes this dire snippet from a Sunday Times article:

Democratic aides said there had been even less strategy than usual in trying to coordinate the questioning by the eight Democratic senators. The situation was complicated because senators and staff were out of Washington before the hearing.
I was pretty outraged, until I found out they couldn't be reached by email, fax, phone, or any other modern means of instant communication because they were in Australia doing individual walkabouts in the outback. Apparently, Karl Rove suggested to them it would be a good teambuilding activity.

Yeesh. (AMERICAblog)
