Two Telling Sidebars To Jim DeMint's US Senate Resignation

As the Tea Party chief heads from his South Carolina Senate seat to run The Heritage Foundation, it's hard to miss in The Washington Post's account two gems that speak volumes about the Right, Congress and the state of affairs on Capitol Hill these days:

* Mitch McConnell thanked DeMint for his "uncompromising service..." That gets it right when it comes to the Right.

* DeMint explained himself on Rush Limbaugh's program.

And you don't these folks live in a bubble and speak to an echo chamber?
