Reid: Bush 'Dangerously Incompetent'

(AP) Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid called President Bush "dangerously 
incompetent" on Wednesday and said the administration ought to be doing more 
to prevent increasing sectarian violence in Iraq.

"Where is (Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice? Why isn't she over in the 
Middle East, as the chief diplomat of this country should be, trying to get the 
political forces to form a government over there?" Reid told The Associated 
Press. 

Must be the conservative bias in the media.

Critic of spying program to shepherd bills through Senate
By Katherine Shrader, The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A vocal Republican critic of the Bush administration's 
eavesdropping program will preside over Senate efforts to write the program 
into law, but he was pessimistic Wednesday that the White House wanted to 
listen.

"They want to do just as they please, for as long as they can get away with 
it," Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said in an interview with 
The Associated Press. "I think what is going on now without congressional 
intervention or judicial intervention is just plain wrong." 

Things are pretty f---ed up if Arlen and I are in agreement but his take on Bush is dead-on. Bush and his cronies don't care about anyone else, just themselves. They are arrogant pigs feeding at the American Trough or, for a more kosher analogy, a pack of mis-guided Robin Hoods: stealing from the poor and giving to themselves, yet meaning well all the way (so they think).
