There’s a new group called “Former Members of Congress for Common Ground” and four former Iowa congressmen are part of it. Former Iowa Congressmen Berkley Bedell (D), Jim Leach (R), Jim Ross Lightfoot (R), and Tom Tauke (R) have signed onto a letter. The letter uses Leach-esque words like “axiomatic” and their collective message is, basically, this: dial it down a few notches, folks.
The New Yorks Times used the word “civility” in the headline on its blog post about the letter. Politico used the word “scold” in the headline of its story.
