The Wednesday ‘BushWhack’ing

Day before Thanksgiving…if you’re gonna be traveling, travel safe...

• The mud-slinging and name-calling for the Democratic presidential candidates is getting very nasty and, quite frankly, very childish…
• Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan’s book doesn’t come out until April, but as we mentioned yesterday, the excerpt is causing waves... odds of the administration throwing him under the bus are growing larger by the minute…
• Rudy Giuliani is being swift-boated by firefighters and 9/11-victim’s families…
• Trying to prevent “President” Bush from recess-appointing some executive branch nominees, the Senate Democrat’s offensive, in a pro-forma style, is working. Yesterday, Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) gaveled in a 30-second Senate session yesterday, saying; “This is an exercise in protecting the Constitution and our constitutional process.” About time the Democrats start showing some balls… just keep it up!!!
• David Obey (D-WI) and John Murtha (D-PA) pushed back the Bush(whacked) Administration claims that the Pentagon is going to run out of money soon because Congress failed to pass the war funding bill before the Thanksgiving recess… never mind that the $460 billion defense bill signed by Bush last week can pay for the wars…
• And have we mentioned? That Americans are not coming into the holiday season as happy campers? According to a Reuters/Zogby poll released today, the number of Americans that believe we’re on the right track fell dropped to 24% from last month’s 26%... add to that that two-thirds believe we’re headed in the wrong direction and you have a nervous nation... January 20, 2009 can NOT come soon enough..
