A Random F**king Thought ...

I'm sure this is the sort of thing that's probably been discussed to death on actual political blogs, and I'm sure there's a very simple answer to it that I just don't know. But this question has been nagging at me over the last few days: Why the hell can't Congressional Democrats replace their respective leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi?

Seriously: If there is anyone over the last year that is actually less popular George W. Bush, it's Pelosi and Reid, the absolute worst faces that Democrats can put forth. They are both whiny, weak, out-of-touch morons. The Democrats hate them nearly as much as the Republicans do. And yet, the right wing media continues to equate the rest of us with Pelosi and Reid. They are the leading reason why the stimulus bill is gaining in unpopularity.

Why doesn't Congress replace them? They can keep their seats, of course. But in the opening weeks of the Obama adminstration -- a presidency that's supposed to be all about change -- why do we have the same two ninnies running the show in Congress? There are countless Senators, and at least two Representatives that would better serve the ideals of the average Democrat. Why can't we put in Russ Feingold? Or Barbara Boxer? Or Blanche Lincoln? Hell: Anyone is better than Reid.

So what gives, Congressional Democrats? We can't do a damn thing about who y'all elect as your representatives, and there's no reason Californians or Nevadans would kick them out, what with all the perks their respective constituencies get. So, what can we do? What can you do? How do we make this happen?
