Dog Tricks

It took me less than 2 hours to teach my 6 month old puppy how to bow on command. It took the Democrats... what... 3 months to bow to Bush's command?

To be fair, I don't necessarily blame them for letting Bush have his Iraq spending bill. Not giving money to the troops is political suicide, and I didn't celebrate with cinnamon alcohol in November, 2006 only for them to lose again in 2008. Iraq may be issue number 1, but let's not forget issue's 2-1,374 that the Republicans f'd up in their 12 long years in charge. I do blame the hyphen-D's for letting him have it so easily. I would expect more of a long diatribe from people like Joe Biden, or more outrage from the presidential candidates or Nancy Pelosi. What they should have done, at the very least, is made the benchmarks more strict and require the administration to provide constant updates.

Oh well.
