Boehner beat out blunt for the job. It is kind of an interesting shake up to the Republican leadership in Congress but I don’t trust Boehner nor like him. This guy’s office very nastily refused to send someone to a meeting last week of seniors with questions regarding the new Medicare-D debacle. Shows how much […]

QUESTION: Are there discussions in the White House about whether or not Karl Rove will remain in his job? BUSH: Elizabeth, the investigation on Karl as you know […]
Bush has accepted full responsibility for the governments failed response in the days immediately following Katrina’s land fall. “To the extent the federal government didn’t fully do its job right, I take responsibility,” Bush said in a joint press conference with Iraq’s President this after noon.
