How Dare They?



Chutzpah: audacity, effrontery, nerve, cojones etc. G.W. Bush accuses Democrats of playing politics in trying to determine the truth about why 8 US Attorneys were fired, especially after the Bush administration has given several different reasons for the firings. This from an administration that has made the use of politics an ARTFORM in obtaining power, keeping power and in "running" government. Should we laugh or cry?

G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney slam Democrats for not supporting the troops. This from two guys (both of whom refused to fight in Vietnam) who basically mislead us into a stupid unwinable war with too few troops that were not equipped with personal armor or vehicle armor and still are not to this very day. These two men are directly responsible for the deaths of over 3,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis.

These men want Democrats to "join" them in doing the peoples business. Quite a change in tune from the last six years when Democrats were basically treated as though they were not around in Congress. Does anyone accept the notion that oversight of the excutive branch might be doing the peoples business?

D. J. Dionne asks why are the principles that the Republicans held so dear during the Clinton administration no longer operative? The Pew poll results released last week indicate that people no longer support the Republican "resurgence" of the last decade. And, G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney are likely the reason.
