this is really going to be hilarious to witness. If this silly bus invades the west coast they will be heckled endlessly, should be good for a laugh. Ray/Mephisto: Why don't you show up for this joke-a-thon? Snow, Evans and Chao- the three GOP banditos and their failed policies talk about why they shouldn't lose their jobs. `Jobs & growth' bus tour will tout Bush policies; Dems angry Three top Bush administration officials and the head of the Small Business Administration will roll through Washington and Oregon on a "Jobs and Growth" bus tour next week, touting the administration's economic policies. Treasury Secretary John Snow, Commerce Secretary Don Evans and Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, joined by SBA Administrator Hector Baretto, will launch their trip Tuesday in Spokane. They've scheduled events later in Richland and Yakima, and then head to Oregon for events in Portland and Eugene on Wednesday. kgw.com

I might say the same of the lefties, too. And, frankly, I do not view it as filth at all. As will be seen by anyone, the truth will out. I can deal with it.

So because of 9/11, it really doesn't matter what Bush said before the war, or what the intelligence actually showed, or whether Saddam Hussein had those weapons. If you understand the "context" of a world in which the United States has been struck by "terrorists with airplanes," anything that Bush decides should be done is, by definition, something that must be done. He's a war president. Don't forget it. The strange thing is that while Bush is determined not to repeat the mistakes his father made 12 years ago, he is in the process of repeating, almost precisely, the first Bush administration's fatal mistake. Here's what's missing from this analysis: The first Bush didn't lose because of defections from the right. He lost because mainstream Americans of middle-class means decided, fairly or not, that their president just didn't understand much of anything about their lives. They were worried about their jobs, their health care, their pensions, their housing and sending their kids to college. Voters freely conceded that the first President Bush was first rate when it came to foreign policy. That just didn't happen to be what they voted on in November of 1992. The current President Bush is in the process of putting himself in exactly the same place. If Americans want a war president, he's their man. But in light of the failure to find those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, many voters now wonder whether that was a war that needed to be fought. chron.com
