in the middle of season 3 now....

pretty amazing how relevant it is to what is happening politically now...
same issues.....same jargon....
the more things change the more they remain the same.

I loved that show, watching that clip on O'Donnell's show brought it right back as one of my all-time favorite shows. I didn't know he wrote the 'proud to be a liberal' speech in that episode, very impressive. I feel just as O'Donnell does, we need to take back and be proud of the liberal label, imo.

This scene was particularly relevant during the debt ceiling talks.
