"In fact, he's saying just that. He's saying the Democrats are wasting time and resources posturing about a silly non-scandal."
Taken as a whole, I agree with you freedomdefender, -- But it's Dobb's transparent way of getting in his own few partisan licks thats outrageous.
He's "poxing" both houses. In this context, that's a spin that's actually pro-Bush, because the issue under discussion is the "scandal" that has the Bush administration on the defensive, and the point of this column is that it's a big nothing. Overall, this column cuts heavily against the Democrats. So, in the process, he accuses the administration of being political. So what? Nobody cares, because every administration is political - that's why the business is called politics.
It is just more of the same, if you ask me. They are posturing as the champions of the permanent bureaucracy, government unions being their biggest union supporters.
