They said that Bush spent about 3 days "practicing" in the whitehouse pool for his jaunt to that carrier.

If he had spent 3 days listening to intelligence experts and his OWN Father, he would have invaded Iraq with sufficient forces and a REAL plan for post-war Iraq.

I've ALWAYS considered Kerry a JERK, so I don't know why you would bring him up to refute me in a discussion of Bush.

"Schwarzenegger says Democratic win is healthy
Thu Nov 9, 2006 1:34 PM ET

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of few Republicans to shine at the mid-term elections, said on Thursday the Democratic victories were healthy for U.S. politics.

"I think it is good that there are new ideas and new blood because Washington was stuck. They could not move forward, not much was accomplished; I think it was terrible," he told reporters on a trip to Mexico.

Former bodybuilder and star of the "Terminator" action movies, Schwarzenegger won reelection by a landside on Tuesday after distancing himself from President George W. Bush and adopting moderate positions on some issues.

At the same time, Democrats took a majority of seats in the House of Representatives and appeared set to win dominance in the Senate, which would give the party control of both houses of Congress for the first time in 12 years.

Schwarzenegger said fellow Republicans could now learn from his change of tack and work with Democrats.

"If anyone in Washington or anyone from other states looks at that, hopefully they got the message also," he said.

this day in history

"The Texas Legislature neared final passage of a Republican-sponsored congressional redistricting plan last night amid bitter partisan battling that was further inflamed by an internal GOP analysis of the plan's likely impact on the state's congressional delegation.

"This is the most aggressive map I have ever seen," Joby Fortson wrote in the analysis, which he e-mailed to congressional aides. "This has a real national impact that should assure that Republicans keep the House no matter the national mood."
