Triangulation stinks....

From David Sirota:

Driving Triangulation "Over the Dead Bodies" of the ProgressiveMovement

The term "triangulation" in politics means a set of leaders joining with their opponents to pass measures that run counter to those leaders' own supporters.

Typically, triangulation is practiced by presidents against their own parties in Congress, with the master of triangulation being President Bill Clinton who, among other things, rammed welfare reform and NAFTA "over the dead bodies" of rank-and-file Democratic lawmakers and the progressive movement.

Can congressional leaders can pull the same move? Unfortunately, we're going to find out very soon, as congressional Democratic leaders are very clearly attempting to triangulate against their own party on the three issues the party ran on to win Election 2006.
