Stand By Your Man

The SF Chronicle:
Speaking in San Francisco the day after adjournment of the Republican-controlled 2005-06 Congress, Pelosi declared — as she had throughout her party’s successful November election campaign — that “my highest priority, immediately, is to stop the war in Iraq.”
In that effort, she added, “We extend a hand of friendship and cooperation to the president. We hope we can work together.”
Nancy, dear, if you don’t support funding cuts and you don’t support impeachment, how exactly do you propose to do this? It doesn’t work for alcoholics and it doesn’t work for power junkies: you can’t make him quit by being good. You’ve got to let him hit bottom, and you’ve got to stand far enough out of the way that he doesn’t pull you down with him.
I hope that what Pelosi has been saying about
working with Bush rather than impeaching him
is just a rhetorical game, like everything that
he says about bipartisanship.
Realistically, there’s no way to work with this
deranged and deluded child. That’s been made
obvious by his reaction to the Baker commission
report, a document devised to let him disengage
from Iraq under bipartisan cover. It was meant
to save his sorry ass rather than to really solve
the problem, and yet he rejected it in a pouty huff.
After a brief honeymoon, I hope that the Demos
go after this destructive little tyrant.
“We extend a hand of friendship and cooperation to the president. We hope we can work together.”
That’s rich.
I had no idea that Nancy could be so funny!
Simple, remove tax cuts for the wealthy at the rate of 5% per month that our troops stay in Iraq.
And before you say “veto”, put the tax cut legislation in the military authorization bill.
No need to cut off troop funding when you’ve got Bush’s nuts in a vice.
