***If Daschle's "outrage" was the product of 48 hours of consultations, what does that tell us about how Dana Milbank cooked up his article in yesterday's Washington Post?***

Exactly, aristeides. And how does one explain the tape CNN had ready to play that referred to Daschle as the Clark Kent of the Senate? It was a gushy sales job of how wonderful Daschle is.

IMO it was a coordinated attack on President Bush. Democrats, Wash. Post, CNN....all a pattern cut from the same cloth.

Definitely. The midget's office clued the media on this. Cable news had their pundits lined up ahead of time, IMO. The analysis and reaction on tv was too swift to think anything else.

The public employees unions now dominate the entire union movement, and are its only growing segment (there is little incentive for public officials to resist unionization). People from the public employees unions now lead the movement (John Sweeney, President AFL-CIO). These unions collect check-off dues from workers paychecks, and turn over 85% - 95% to democrats, directly or indirectly. When you see democrat officials stalling the homeland security, they are protecting their own funding base, period. It is not just a matter of doing a favor for a "Washington special interest," but of protecting the whole democrat party establishment.
