President Bush criticized congressional Democrats yesterday for failing to send him a raft of spending bills, declaring that they should "stop wasting time and get essential work done on behalf of the American people. "Today Congress set a record they should not be proud of: October the 26th is the latest date in 20 years that Congress has failed to get a single annual appropriations bill to the president's desk," Bush said in a White House news conference. In response, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) criticized the president on the cost of the Iraq war: "This Congress' record on fiscal discipline and meeting our national priorities sends the President this message: the days of the fiscally irresponsible Rubber Stamp Congress are over," she said in a statement.

A message to Pelosi: STFU. Nobody is listening anyway.

Pelosi: "This Congress' record on fiscal discipline and meeting our national priorities sends the President this message: the days of the fiscally irresponsible Rubber Stamp Congress are over,"

So now instead of the fiscally irresponsible Rubber Stamp Congress we have the fiscally irresponsible Buffoonish Do Nothing Cut-And-RunCongress. Keep up the good work, Pelosi.

October the 26th is the latest date in 20 years that Congress has failed to get a single annual appropriations bill to the president's desk

guess he forgot about the last congress, which didn't pass a budget for the year before ajourning
