Just got online---say your (we're yelling) and just LMAO

Thank you--

What a good start to what may be yet another rough day for the Republicans---grrrrrrrrrr

Why does everyone blame George Bush? Now you have Lugar blaming Bush because HE, Lugar, didn't even talk to his own committee members before Tuesday's meeting and MAKE SURE they were in line---Lugar should have asked Voinivich WHY he didn't bother to show up to the hearings--

But, oh no, gotta blame it on Bush---

OK, I just read it again. Here's something I don't think we can or should avoid pondering and discussing.

Lugar's inaction is in part due to his anger over Bolton's written responses, or lack there of, to questions submitted by Democrats. In some cases, according to the staffer, Bolton simply ignored the questions or wrote responses that did not address specific points the Democrats were seeking.

"Bolton was nonresponsive in some of those questions," says the staffer, who considers himself a moderate Republican. "When you're answering questions at a hearing, it's one thing to be able to duck an issue. But in writing, when you leave the answer space blank, it's pretty obvious where you are coming from."

So if true, that begs and explanation from Mr. Bolton.
