So it would be acceptable to blame the Democrats for final passage of this piece of...legislation, although Republicans are to blame for even introducing it. Oh but why am I complaining, it's just another 400 billion+, just think of all the votes!!

My article was not addressed to whether this bill is a good idea or a bad idea. Not a word of my column was addressed to that subject.

All I did here was to put up the facts on how this unique vote actually took place. Then I castigated the press for getting the story wrong. I did not even discuss press bias -- just the point that they violated the first requirement on Journalism 101 -- get your facts straight.

It would be acceptable to blame the American people for this legislation. It is the American people who want prescription drug coverage. If Dubya didn't give them what they want, he would be replaced with another servant. I do not blame servants for doing their master's bidding.
