On one-trick ponies and political erectile dysfunction

Excellent piece from Giancarlo about the utter ineptitude of the Diaz-Balart brothers:

Now with a Democratic President and a strong majority in both houses of Congress, the Diaz-Balarts have entered a dark realm known as — no, not the Twilight Zone — absolute political irrelevance. To put it bluntly, the Diaz-Balarts suffer from a severe case of political erectile dysfunction and no amount of Viagra can help them.

There is no clearer example of the Diaz-Balarts’ impotence than their inability to influence yesterday’s 245-178 House vote in favor of a bill which included, among other things, the lifting of restrictions on family visits and remittances to Cuba — their one-hit wonder issue that really never was a hit. Lincoln Diaz-Balart spent days pompously claiming to the South Florida media he had the power and votes to shoot the measure down. But when it came time to vote, both Lincoln and Mario’s political erectile dysfunction kicked in and were unable to do anything. As noted before, the bill passed with a wide margin.
