Does it get worse?
Suppose that the man who would kill Big Bird through budget cuts, or by having him hunt with Dick Cheney, is right about our ports being controlled by an Arab trading partner. I don't think he is, but let' give him the benefit of the doubt.
Assume he told his Attorney General to make provisions for increased security and that Chertoff at Homeland Security rolled up his sleeves and helped negotiate a great deal for the U.S. Then suppose the Tooth Fairy helped make this work.
With all of those assumptions, why, oh why, would they admit that the president didn't know about the deal until just hours before announcing that his first veto would be exercised to save the deal? And if anyone in the executive branch is listening or thinking, could they imagine a public outcry. If not, what are they doing in government? What's next for heaven's sake?
An overnight poll showed 76 percent of the respondents giving the president an 'F' for his handling of the port issue. Leave no President too far behind.
On the day before FightingBob.com's birthday, a message from Bill Moyers: "I mean, think about it. Other than the war in Iraq, the Katrina disaster, the deficit, the CIA leak, torture, stopping stem cell research, homeland security, global warming and undercutting science, we've yet to really feel the negative effects of the Bush administration."
Amen, Brother Moyers.
