Absolutely and it showed what happens to people if for several generations they have relieved on the welfare state.
I actually watched a few minutes of Russert's round table and it was breathtaking in its bias!!!!
The central theme was this: Iraq is Dubya's debacle. There is not alternative position. We need to leave, and the Republicans have to distance themselves from Dubya or go down to defeat. Also, any other opinion on Iraq is rationalization. All the panel agreed, including Bob Novak and a senior editor of National Review (her name I did not catch).
Russert is a fool. DBM indeed!
And now, I'm off to church.
