What a theater of the absurd! We are treated to the spectacle of Bush’s flashy Hollywood-style entrance onto the aircraft carrier – this from a man who went AWOL for about a year while others died in Vietnam!

Then Tom DeLay tries to misuse the Homeland Security forces to track down the Texas Dems who, in protest of his gerrymandering scheme, left the state …

And now this obscene tax-cut giveaway to the rich narrowly passes, with our oily vice prez leaping out of the limousine to further embellish his ignoble role in history with this infamous tie-breaking vote in the Senate – with some pathetic turncoat Democrat, and it wasn’t even Lieberman.

And on the proposal to give seniors the same health insurance as government employees, GW’s “hero,” Dr. Frist, as well as our health-services-touting Sens. Snowe and Collins, votes against this provision.

Will the outrages never cease? What kind of sicko B-rate movie are we living in these days?
