Ya--I lived there during 'Nam. I just like the absurdity of the "idea" You're right, the dems are now saddled with power that they have no idea what to do with. I'm eager to hear the excuses for why the can't change anything in Iraq when they have the power to do so. Probably something along the lines of " Bush messed it up so bad that it's impossible". Like that improves anything.
ITA with the blame Bush thing. That's a given.
I also agree about the Dems having power they don't know what to do with. They can't --as in don't have enough power -- to deliver on the promises they made. Last I checked, their little margin of power is not sufficient to override a Presidential veto.
It's a shell game. They'll push the legislation, Bush will veto it, and they'll go back to their constituents with the "well, I tried but Bush screwed us over" line. Both Clinton and Bush have used the same ploy, so it can't really be called a crime committed by one side only. "Business as usual" for bureaucratic fatasses is more like it.
Meanwhile, nothing will be accomplished, as usual.
