The poor babies - I'm so glad they're feeling better.

Frightened politicians crawl out of woodwork, wreak havoc.

When Rep. Shelley Berkley decided to hold a "Congress on Your Corner" event here Friday, her plan was to prove that fear hadn't changed the way Congress works. She wound up proving the opposite.

Berkley's event in a small office building off the Strip featured a folding table, two flags and 60 constituents.

And at least 10 police officers.

Jim the Luddite summed it up just fine:

Personally, if I was a congress person I would be reluctant to show my face in public, but for reasons of embarrassment, not fear of getting shot.
