Watching the news tonight, Tim Russert was reporting on the recent MSNBC/WSJ poll. Americans disapprove of everything – the President, Congress, our direction. All I have to say is that it’s about gaddamn time! Congress is choked. The Democratic Majority is not large enough in the Senate to over-ride a veto, pass cloture on a no confidence vote, etc. Bush can be stymied, but things can’t yet be reversed.
Our salvation is in the hands of the Congressional Investigators, the last bastion of sanity in a government infiltrated down to the people who order paper clips. Although it didn’t make it to the nightly news – there’s plenty going on. The House Rules Committee interviewed and unrepentent, smart, arrogant Hans Von Spakovsky today. He took responsibility for none of his dirty deeds in the "voter fraud conspiracy," he was just under orders of the infamous Bradley Schlozman. What a pair. Lurita Doan continued to try to explain to an increasingly impatient Congressional Hearing why her being a Party Operative shouldn’t bother them. In response to last night’s damning email dump, the Judicial Committees of both Houses of Congress issued subpoenas to Harriet Miers and Sara Taylor – probably facing the "executive privilege" dance for longer than we’d like. Any day where that many Republican Operatives are being looked at is a good day. We have to take what we can get.
when the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall,
and down will come baby,
cradle and all.
