QotD: Just desserts

A true but difficult quote from Jay Nordlinger in this mornings "Impromptus" (always an enjoyable read...here...you'll find a funny joke in there, too) on the rumblings within the general populace regarding what's been going down in Washington.

...in a democracy, very often, people get what they deserve.

Um, ouch (though I contend we are a republic).
