Sad, Sadder, Saddest Commentary

Jon Walker of FDL: on polls about the Afghanistan war:

I don’t know what is a sadder commentary on on the state of our democracy:

• The fact that a majority of the country no longer expects their elected “representatives” to follow their wishes on such an important issue.
  
• The fact that our “representatives” will very likely take actions in such direct opposition to the electorate.
  
• Or the fact that the media isn’t treating this unbelievable disconnect and total failure of democracy as a huge national scandal.
  

Sad indeed.
