NBC reports (cue to 2:05):
Today Democrats showed up at scheduled bipartisan talks, but said they forgot to invite the Republicans.
(Via the Corner.)
The Democrats have a choice; they can pass a plan on their own (and accept responsibility for it), or they can work with Republicans on a bipartisan plan. But the notion that Republicans, particularly in the House, will simply to accede to a Democratic plan (particularly one with unacceptable add-ons like a slush fund for the ACORN voter fraud machine) in nonsense. As long as they don’t take Republicans seriously, they’re simply wasting time.
