The seven year old who is occasionally knocked in the head when he's trying to keep mom and dad apart, ignored/mocked at best. @Promnight: I’m with you – the Dems were the kids in the family caught in the crossfire between abuser GOP and battered spouse media.

The Bush admin went after anyone in the press who wasn't kissing their ass, they would deny access, call the network and have them fired, they actually got Rather fired, a network anchor, the Bush family revenge for Rather skewering GHW Bush 20 years before. The democrats are not pussies, the press coverage of them portrayed them as pussies. The press was so beaten and stockholm-syndromed by the bullying republicans that they would not give the democrats a podium, would not air the vigorous dem responses and positions, during the Bush nazi era. @redmanlaw: I think the press is the battered spouse in that dynamic.

" In recent years, the Washington political dynamic has often resembled an abusive marriage, in which the bullying husband (the Republicans) slaps the wife and kids around, and the battered wife (the Democrats) makes excuses and hides the ugly bruises from outsiders to keep the family together." http://www.truthout.org/042809M @Promnight: Did you see that thing on Demratz and the battered spouse syndrome?
