"I just do NOT understand why the administration isn't prepping these guys"
The President has his hands full with the WOT, National Security, keeping the economy perking, etc.
The RNC is the place for statement cohesion, talking points, practice & preparation, IMHO.
Oh, I agree completely that Congress is in a better position to defend the president and the war. But since they aren't doing it, the administration figured out a few weeks ago that they will have to be the ones doing it.
I certainly hope that Rove is calling some of these Republicans and taking them to task. Or holding seminars and giving them talking points.
Winner! We HAVE a Winner!!!! This crap flung at Bush every week always bugs me but I could never quite get express why. You just nailed it. Well said!
