The Onion has the most cogent story covering the Dems I've seen in some time (it's from last week)--"Democrats Vow Not To Give Up Hopelessness":

. . .

"We can lose this," Reid added. "All it takes is a little lack of backbone."

It's a thin line between reality and parody sometimes, that's all I'm sayin'.
