Karl Rove is ... right?

The Wall Street Journal is up this morning with a new Op-Ed from Karl Rove. You can question his facts and reject most of his premise -- tell us again how the Democratic leaders in Congress are "beholden to MoveOn and other left-wing groups" -- but it's hard to argue with his conclusion:

"Democrats had a moment after the 2006 election, but now that moment has passed. They've squandered it. They have demonstrated both the inability and unwillingness to govern."

Denver's finest moment so far was the roll-call vote, for all it said about the Clinton and Obama camps' capacity for grace, forgiveness and smart politics.
