What Goes Around Comes Around
With one exception, virtually every Republican in Congress has rolled over while George Bush did everything he could think of to make them irrelevant. (Refusal to allow oversight, signing statements, and an unrivaled cloak of secrecy are the very hallmarks of the Bush administration.) That one exception, of course, isn't a person ... the one exception to Congress' irrelevance is that the Republicans have come up with more pork-laden legislation and and more legislation to benefit special interest groups than any Congress in recent memory and George Bush has yet to veto even one of those bills or budget amendments. How incumbent Republicans think that they can now distance themselves from this administration is beyond me. They are indeed "Brand W Republicans" and if there's any justice in this country then come November they're going to pay the price for doing a helluva lot more for the lobbyists than the people they were elected to represent.
