Countdown to Democracy

Thanks go out to Greg for the wonderfully uplifting countdown to Bush's exit (spread the love at BackwardsBush.com). Little Georgie is not playing fair at recess. Our representatives are not concerned. Last night Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), self-proclaimed 2008 presidential candidate was asked whether he was concerned about Bush side-stepping the checks-and-balances approval process and rushing Bolton's nomination, CAFTA, etc. through during recess. "Oh yes," he said, "I'm very concerned, blah blah he's only hurting himself, blah, blah." He was also asked, "did you expect this?" His response: "Oh, we assumed he would." So, let's get this straight, they spent months worth of time railing against the administration and friends only to say, "Well, in August, I'm on vacation, so where were we bombing next? Oh yes, Syria. The world will be okay with that, right? 'Cause I'm in the Hamptons, then, and I really can't be bothered by my constituency. I'm, like, on break." Yes, Delaware. Good luck with that nomination.
