The Friday ‘BushWhack’ing

It’s Friday… thank God…

• I’m not an opponent or a proponent of MoveOn… I can take them or leave them. But the furor over their ad for General Petraeus is not going to blow over any time soon, and yet they don’t seem to care. (Perhaps if Senate Democrats had that attitude, Congress’ approval rating wouldn’t be lower than “President” Bush’s… I’m just sayin’…)


• Sen. Ted “It’s the Tubes” Stevens’ troubles are getting deeper and deeper… now there’s a audiotape!


• Judging by his past rulings (pun intended), Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey seems to be a judge that is insistent on doing what he felt the law compelled…(Wow, what a concept! A judge that rules according to... the law)


• Democrats are vowing to not let up in their bi-partisan drive to bring our troops home from Iraq… (at least until Bush threatens them, then they’ll cower in the corner like usual…)


• And have we mentioned? That Bush’s fellow republicans, upon hearing his pledge to veto increased funding for children’s health insurance. reacted angrily to the news. Sen. Charles Grassley (r-IA) remarked; “I’m disappointed by the president’s comments” while Sen. Gordon Smith (r-OR) said “I’m very, very disappointed.” (And once again, Bush ignores his own party, and does what he thinks is right… the man is a tool, and his standing in his own party is getting lower and lower by the minute…)
