Witnessing the heart as it cracks – UPDATED

May 28, 2010 By

It is not possible to remain unmoved as Rep. Charles Melancon (D-LA) finds the break point. “Everything that I know and love is at risk.” Watch it all. Melancon’s sincere pain is a rebuke to the incessant political posturing we see out of Washington, and all the artless media outrage to which we have become [...]
