WOULDA COULDA Josh Marshall muses:

Think how much might have been different if Congress had exercised any meaningful oversight role through any of this catastrophe. The level of irresponsibility, the lockstep indifference has been nothing short of depraved. Calling it an abdication of responsibility is like saying a murderer didn't have enough concern for his victim's health.

If only smart, serious, reasonable people like Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) had been at the helm these last four years.

Oh, wait.
