On Sunday, Tim Russert was gobsmacked to discover that when he asked his usual showstopper, "But what are the Democratic ideas?", Illinois congressman and ex-has-been Rahm Emanuel actually had an answer.
Rahm could have said, "Three things: Convict DeLay. Filibuster Miers. Stick pins in our voodoo dolls of George Bush and Karl Rove." Instead, he spelled out five real ideas:
- making college universal,
- demanding a budget summit,
- cutting energy dependence in half with a hybrid economy,
- creating a science and technology institute to rival NIH, and
- making health care universal over the next 10 years.
