More exemplary statesmanship from noted “Mormon Hero”

From James Taranto:

• “Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all Republicans can come up with is this: Slow down. Stop everything. Let’s start over. If you think you have heard these same excuses before, you are right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said: Slow down. It is too early. Let’s wait. Things aren’t bad enough.”–Sen. Harry Reid on ObamaCare, Dec. 7
