The writer is the guy Theresa Heinz Kerry said "Shove It!" to.

Kudos to "Shove it" McNickle

Republicans have done an excellent job in showcasing Pelosi's naked hypocrisy.

EWWWWW.

[MikefromOhio]

at least they aren't talking about Bill Clinton and his spunk-iness....

but that Pelosi naked hypocrisy comment is just wrong...

The Vatican under the new Pope showed more determination last week than it has for the past several decades, deposing the editor of America and forcing the Bishop of Milwaukee to announce his gay sash decision.

Maybe the Republicans will get some guts too, and follow suit. The elections of 2002 and 2004 gave them their mandate, and the Democrats sure noticed it, but the Republicans only just seem to be waking up--we hope.

A hint of GOP spunk

For heaven's sake, don't talk it about it. You might scare it away. It's a rare sighting, in any rate.

Though in the majority, Republicans have been reluctant to lead. They'll show leadership this week by rescuing the country from the tyranny of the minority. (If by chance they don't, there will be hell to pay from a growing faction within the party.)

That's it in a nutshell. That and Bolton's nomination are going to be closely followed. They had time to go away, talk to their therapists, have a rod installed in their backs. Now I expect them ready to fight Monday morning.

Act as the Republican Majority, or don't expect to remain the Majority.

Oh, before said otherwise, I've duly noted the exhibition of spine since we raised Hell after the fiasco over Bolton's vote. It's only right to be fair and I've held back fire because of it. I've praised them for the new attitude. But I expect tangible results also. Results that I, we all, have right to expect beginning this week. Recess is over.

Sounds good.
