After their supposed tough talk to the president, 11 so-called moderates vote down a Democratic compromise in the House. Plus: I'm on "Scarborough Country" tonight.
  • On "Turning Tankers"

    The turning tanker to which Fineman referred on Countdown is the MSM finally internalizing the fact that the American people are against this war and want it to end. I don't really know how pivotal the visit to W by the 11 congressmen was. It is sure hard to imagine something like that happening even a year ago. Bush is getting backed into a corner and his support is weakening. Skeptics like Atrios believe the GOP will never really cave but they are masters at flip-flopping then denying that they flip-flopped. Their very electoral survival is at stake and the writing on the wall is horrible for them. This is a GOOPer war and it will hang around their necks for generations.
