...And out come the wolves

About a week ago, my wife and I were at Le Peep and our waiter stated that President George W. Bush belongs in jail. It's not like I asked his opinion. He just, you know, wanted to share.

It's the dawn of a new day, folks. Bush's poll numbers are so low that people feel safe bashing him in front of complete strangers.

Ditto for congressional candidates, even in close districts. Check out Peggy Lamm on Bush's speech last night:

...It's hard to see the president's speech as anything more than just an election year photo-op for Republicans who are desperate to change the subject from their failures on Iraq, the budget, Katrina and prescription drugs.

A real plan to address illegal immigration would start with the basics - enforcing the laws that are already on the books by cracking down on corporations that hire undocumented workers.

Tonight's speech demonstrates once again that this administration isn't interested in real solutions. They're interested in their falling poll numbers, and hope that lip service like tonight's speech tonight will save them. All that was missing from President Bush's performance tonight was the flight suit.


Let's hope voters are savvy enough to extend their dislike of the president onto his clones. Like Lamm's CD7 Republican opponent Rubber Stamp Rick O'Donnell, who has expressed his adulation for Dick Cheney and the Bush administration in general.
