Biggest Lame Duck in the World

HUNDREDS OF DAYS AND VETO VIOLENCE STILL AHEAD

Vowing to veto the U.S. economy into recession in order to save face for his political party in the fall, Bush returned to Washington to face up to life as Barney .... Barney, the dinosaur.

Not since the dark days of the Iranian hostage crisis has the Nation been more willing to sigh relief at the removal of an Executive (apart from that last law-totin' GOPer, Nixon).

Senator McConnell is on record that the GOP's obstructionism will continue well into the next administration, so long as the sizable McConnell war chest buys his re-election in his home state, where he polls in the 40s, last I looked, and 39 of his colleagues.

So much for an era of changed politics in Washington, eh, AS?
