But it's getting worse, I swear.
1. Dems on the so-called Ethics Committee are refusing to meet because of the rule changes Republicans put in place to protect Tom DeLay.
Hastert says the Dems are blocking the new rules because there are Democrats who will be investigated.
Now, if that were the reason (and mind you, the Republicans haven't filed anything against any Democrat), wouldn't Democrats WANT the new rules so they could protect those people with a tie vote?
2. And not to be outdone, GW said today, after hearing that Republican Lincoln Chafee is now leaning against voting for Bolton, that he wants the Senate to "put aside politics and confirm John Bolton, who is the right man for the right time."
Um, hello, I believe Chafee and Voinivich ARE putting aside politics. I don't see what they have to gain by bucking Georgie. And Voinivich has already been attacked by many in the party as a traitor. If they voted to confirm Bolton against their conscience, it would be because they were playing politics.
Do they really think AT ALL before they say these things? Or is this just more of them depending on the stupidity of the masses (and probably succeeding)?
And if Bolton is the right man for the right time, what time exactly is that? Evidently GW thinks the U.N. needs a serial abuser to chase all the members down the hall and throw things at them, as he has been proven to do to employees. I'm not sure "diplomat" is the right title in that case. How about "UN Enforcer"?
