Whom in Congress does Lameduck Bush think are friendly?

Friends, things are going to get interesting. Since 9/11 changed everything, the Bush Administration's approach to congress has been the steamroller/cement mixer/napalm bomb approach. But since last fall's elections, the Republican Administration has focused on trying to ensure that they are not held accountable for everything they've screwed up. Case in point, the retroactive immunity law to give amnesty to the big phone companies who sold all of us out without a warrant. Think about that next time you pay your phone bill.

During the GOP domination years, they would have sold this by calling up their Joe Klein friends and scaring Democrats into support with threats from the "so-called left" voices and yelling that Rush Limbaugh was spot on. But that stunt was cut short when America realized that Social Security is not in crisis (disclosure, I ran the www.ThereIsNoCrisis.com campaign) and Democrats finally realized that solidarity for honesty could make our Party invincible.

Today, a judge says that our friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation get to see how the Republican Administration moved to push amnesty for the big telecoms.

While the Nixon "Enemies List" was a badge of honor, I think the Democrats whom are named early on this time-frame will be wearing a different patch.

This will be an amazing insight into the thoughts of the Bush team's post lame duck status. The early names will be the names of the Democrats the Bush Administration thinks will throw themselves on the sword for big business despite the little detail we call the 4th Amendment of the Bill of Rights. And we get to know it all in a couple of weeks.
