- I'm not saying Bush et. al. are guilt free. Hell, Bush should have
- not laid down the gauntlet against the house and senate. You know
- what happens when the 'I dare you' stuff starts. But the gridlock
- congress and budget sumit theories were pretty much dismissed out
- of hand. It takes two you know.
