Looks like the senior Republican in the Senate is in some big trouble.
As all have probably heard by now, Russ Feingold said he is introducing resolutions to censure Bush and Cheney. That is a great move, even though it isn’t impeachment. Still, let’s see how the AP reports this: Liberal Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold said Sunday he wants Congress to censure President Bush for his management of […]
So goes it goes for Bush. He was planning on the immigration bill being his legacy. Well his own party just did him in. The ironic part is how Bush is saying that Senate needs to work together to tackle tough issues. How many filibusters have the Republicans had this year? The same tactic they […]
The Senate has passed the war funding bill, which calls for all troops out by March 2008. Get ready for the spin from the White House. UPDATE: Final Vote was 51-47
The Senate has voted 50-48 to reject the amendment by Thad Cochran (R-MS), which would have removed the timetable language from the supplemental bill for the Iraq War. The bill now goes to conference and should pass next week. Gordon Smith and Chuck Hagel sided with the Democrats on this vote.

The flack between Sharpton and Obama is nothing more than that – flack. Kos posted earlier about Sharpton’s criticism of Obama and I have to agree. Obama is out talking about his anti-war stance, so why did he support Joe Lieberman? Lieberman has been out blasting Democrats for trying to stop the war and even […]
It really sounds like someone was trying to avoid getting in trouble with the lies he told Senate under oath. He spun his excuses every which way but the truth. Aravosis has a full run down of the highlights. We also have CREW now calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Gonzales and the entire […]
