Name ONE man on the Bush Team that measures up to that.. What's the definition of silence? Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz swapping war stories.

Republicans guide nation into abyss By Molly Ivins springfield.news-leader.com <<...Still on the general theme of the country going to hell in a handbasket, what happy effect do you suppose President Bush's tax cut on dividends is already having? If you guessed the rich are getting richer, right you are, to an eye-popping extent. Time magazine reports, "Since May, more than 200 firms have raised their payouts to shareholders and — in a time of scrutiny over pay packages — the increases are minting riches for bosses who own a lot of company stock." Sandy Weill of Citigroup will get $27 million a year in after-tax income, up from $11 million. Bill Gates will get an after-tax windfall of $82 million a year, just what he needs. Of course, that's $82 million less for a treasury that's now running a $455 billion deficit. Iraq is turning to manure in our hands because we aren't putting enough money into that endeavor. Veterans are getting shafted, Ashcroft is taking names, and anyone who complains gets accused of treason. Boy, these Republicans really know how to ruin a country, don't they?...>>
