Starting to finally unravel?

Mark: Sorry to have to disagree with you. Yes, the Democrats can invoke extraordinary circumstances and try to filibuster. But Republicans don't have to agree that the circumstances are extraordinary and can return to their threat to do away with the filibuster. The Democrats lost again on this deal as three of the rotten candidates have now been confirmed. I also don't agree with you about Dean. Republicans and some of the toadying Democrats can't stand to hear the truth. But hopefully it will win out in the end.

It does seem to me that finally the Bush/Cheney disaster may be starting to unravel. Bush's rating are at an all time low. There is more and more talk of impeachment, or at least an examination of the possibility. Things are so bad that Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin cut off debate about the Patriot Act in an absolutely blatant act of abuse of power.

The Bolton nomination is going to go the way of the dodo bird unless the White House provides the information the Democrats are entitled to have. This is no longer about Bolton but is now basically a contest between Dick the Slimy and the Senate. If Reid can hold the Democrats together on this they will win (but, of course, you have to watch out for Lieberman, the traitor, who at least for the moment claims he is with the Democrats on this particular issue). Too bad they can't eliminate Bolton on the obvious grounds that he is absolutely wrong for the job. But, then, Bush/Cheney are also obviously wrong for the job, unless the job is to criminally take over the rest of the world.
