ugh...
Just saw Jeb on Fox. I'll not post what I was screaming at the TV...
He's done all he can do. It's such a sad situation....but there's nothing he can do, lawfully. He was critisized before for doing too much....now he's critisized for doing too little....so he feels he must be doing everything right. HUH?
What a whiner! Poor pitiful Jeb. Makes me sick!
What really gets me about Jeb and Dubya is that many liberals are acting in accordance with their beliefs on this... the Bush brothers are acting against what they claim they believe in. Now they are posturing that they have done "all I can do." As far as I'm concerned this chant should greet them at every public event they attend, "all I can do." They need to know that they copped out on this issue and their purported belief in life.
I've been calling Senator Pat Roberts since I found out that he was on the HELP committee that issued the 'subpoena' for Terri to be in DC today. He is trotting around Kansas, filling his face with farmers. I can only let his clerks know how thoroughly disgusted I am with him.
you all gotta see this post: The Dems aren't alone in this.

michigander also has a link to who voted on this....looks like EVERYBODY in the House passed it. In the senate, on 16 dissented, the rest voted "aye." The year? 1997
