[George W. Bush]

It was not what Trent Lott said it is what the did. He had no backing from the base. Same with Gonzo.

Not the same. The base was unhappy with Harriet and with Brownie. They were very unhappy if Gonzales was mentioned for the Court.

The base isn't calling for the AG's head. In fact, the base is going to be angry if Bush just wusses out.

[Howlin]

"The base," as some of you like to refer to yourselves as, has been a BIG part of the problem.

They have continually demanded for SOMEBODY'S head about something; a lot of the pandering to "the base" has been a HUGE problem during this administration and this Congress.
