KO yammering on about BushCo again...

Republicans have taken Nixon's disgraced tactics and approach to presidential power as their starting point. They have learned that if caught, deny it. If that doesn't work, ignore the fact you have been caught and just keep doing it, and claim you have the inherent power to do so. They can get away with it because right-wing talk radio and Fox Cable News have become the cheering section that did not exist during Watergate. As for oversight, during the first six years of the Bush/Cheney administration, the GOP-controlled Congress could not even spell the word "oversight." Only now are we approaching real tests of whether the Democratic Congress will go the distance to get the information they are entitled to have.

Then again, what would you expect from... wait... that was John Dean who said that. Sorry.

Been away, but i see that this hasn't changed: KO< John Dean and K-Mad all still hate America.

And, apparently, not only did Obama snub the troops, he took a dump on them and pushed them through it.
