LAME ! DUCK!

Okay everyone is covering this fillibuster compromise just fine. Crooks and Liars is - as always - near perfection. I do want to make a few points -

1. over all the gang of 14 did a fine job of perserving small r republican principles today. some nut jobs are going to get through. that sucks. But W still has a long way to go before he catches Clinton in appointments.

2. Not pro big business enough to ever be a GOP. But 2 cheers for McCain - he actually took some action to regain his party today. Anyone remember the GOP version 2.1 - the one that had people like Gerry Ford, Nelson Rockefeller, and IKE? Not really my kinda pro labor pols - but at least they had sense. They did not think liberal scientitsts made the dinosaurs up.

3. Dob son of Frist LOST. BIG. Frist who is not running again in 06 is now a lame duck. He blew it. A moderate ripped the rug out from underneath him today. What a treat. Always thought he was a wimp, now we all know it.

4. Bush LOST. don't mis underestimate the importance of this. He began to unravel the moment he got on the plane from Crawford to sign the forced feeding tube law - and has been fading with every S.S. rip off stop - and now we have a BUSH LOSS on record. May it be the first of many.

I beleive the right wing nut job wave crested today.
