P.S. - Just because I don't wanna post a vanity on the subject, I'll throw this in now: the topic I wanted to address was about the Dept. of Transportation's decision to loosen staffing requirements for Air security personnel. Rush was basically beating up Daschal for this (and pointing out his original October call for an "elite" group to guard our airports against terrorist activity. The DOT has backed off of this, resulting in a toothless air security bill (to nobody's surprise on this forum, I'm sure).
My point was simply this: it's not Daschal's DOT, it's BUSH's. The President need only order the DOT to adhere to the law and the intent of the law and make sure that everyone has -- at the very least -- a high school diploma or GED. Then how dare Daschal or any other Dem complain about it since this is still not anywhere near the idea of an 'elite' force. [Of course, the problem with this is that 7,000 security troops would suddenly be out of a job, leaving huge security holes.]
