The weapons story is discredited, it's hard to imagine any reason for alarm over more money for Iraq (since we all knew that was in the offing), and what Bush said about civil unions is no different from what he has been saying all along. So where's the bomb?
I'll pick another adjective. But regarding the issues. The weapons "blunder" story has NOT been discredited in medialand. I've heard it ALL morning on cable. And I'm sure it's on the networks. WE know the facts but I don't hear it getting out loud and clear on MSM. Some of Republican talking heads are doing a good job disputing it, others aren't. The president hasn't addressed it directly. The MSM will conveniently delay correcting the story. It's early, so I'm waiting to see how they'll spin the "president disagrees with his party on civil unions" issue. On reflection, Kerry has flipflopped on that one and might leave it alone. But I do expect the supplemental funding to have legs. It fits the RAT domestic theory that because of "wrong war" Iraq we don't have more free gov't giveaways.
