Lame Duck by Distraction

Interesting tactics are now in play to cripple the Bush's administration.

First the inquest over Gonzales and the firing of appointed attorneys.

Now the legal challenge of appointing Sam Fox as ambassador to Belgium.

In both cases why is there a challenge for activities have procedural process and precedents?

Simple - to bury the current adminstration in litigation and distraction since the new majority party have no other method of challenging Bush.

Completely missed is the need to appoint an ambassador to Belgium, the capital of the European Union. But it's more important to play politics at home than to address the need for working with Europe. I really can't completely fault the antics of democrats, after all most people don't even know where Belgium is!

Now if Pelosi would talk to Castro she would really earn my respect.

Pelosi in the Middle East:
“We have no illusions but we have great hope”
