Dear Mrs. Bush, I've just learned that your husband has lobbied to meet with 52 British families who lost sons and husbands killed in Iraq. That seems like it will make a swell photo op. But I'm wondering if you can get a word in the pResident's ear that since he has refused to see a single American family that some weisenheimer Democratic candidate might be able to point out this obvious hypocrisy and two-faced arrogance. It wouldn't be good. No. It wouldn't be good.

President Bush a black eye this week. Here's the rundown. Republicans stopped Senate business for 39 straight hours to complain that Democrats are standing up to Bush on his right-wing judicial nominees. Here are the facts: The Senate has confirmed 168 of President Bush's judicial nominees. Democrats have filibustered just four of Bush's nominees because they hold extremist, ultraconservative views far outside the mainstream. Republicans blocked 63 of President Clinton's nominees to the federal bench. Republicans refused to give many of Clinton's nominees hearings at all, and even blocked some of them with anonymous holds from a single Republican Senator. The federal judiciary has fewer vacancies now than any time for the past 20 years. This Republican publicity stunt is about one thing: packing the court with ultraconservative ideologues who will reverse decades of progress on civil rights, worker's rights, reproductive rights, environmental protections, and much more. and the WHINING and LIES continue from the HATCH of HATCH and his fellow super conservative wing.... the MORMON wing is in control of this part of the Senate.....very scary indeed.....
