Middle Of The Road

The Sioux City Journal had an article comparing government gridlock in Iowa and Washington D.C.

Iowa tends to avoid D.C.'s gridlock

Our Junior Senator, CommieTommie Harkin, stole the article with his wisdumb -- err wisdom.

According to Harkin, extremists in both parties are the main culprit for federal gridlock. He said up to the early 1990s, each political party had a spectrum of conservatives, moderates and liberals.

"In that kind of a mix, you could get things done," Harkin said.

Now, he said, the chambers have members who are overwhelmingly to the far left or the far right, and moderates are a rarity.

"Things have become more ideological, we've gone off the deep end," Harkin said.

That's a laugh riot, Harkin portraying himself as middle of the road and the scientific community is united in that fact.

When I was in radio, there was a Middle of the road format called MOR.

In Harkin's case he puts the MORON in Middle of the road.
