...federal courtroom erupted in shrieks and loud applause as Judge Denny Chin sentenced disgraced financier Bernard Madoff to 150 years in prison on Monday. In his decision, the judge dismissed Madoff's lawyer's plea for a lighter sentence of 12 years and disputed suggestions that the victims in the fraud were seeking mob vengeance.

Maybe one of the new GOP chin-stroking groups will come up with some killer new ideas to help the party reconnect with ordinary Americans. But Republicans know their best hope for recovery, whether they say it like Limbaugh or merely think it, is Democratic failure. Now that Democrats control both Congress and the White House, hubris is a real possibility; it's hard to imagine Obama floating his pitiful...
