Ix-Nay on the Ebate-Day!

In his isolation cell at Guantanamo, Walter Shapiro apparently didn't get the memo. It's the Democrats who want to stifle debate.

Shapiro at Salon, "Zombie Nation Wakes Up: Bush has stifled the political debate about important issues. In 2007, it's up to Democrats to stir the nation back to life."
