It is encouraging for Village Idiots everywhere that one has been given an entire nation.

So President Bush thinks it is perfectly OK for an arab government to run our ports. He says the Administration has checked out this company owned by the UAE government very thoroughly.

Of course they checked out Brownie's credentials thoroughly before they hired him to head FEMA. I am not encouraged. I really wish the problems with this administration ended with a illicit blow job from a chubby intern. In 2000 I felt pretty good about the new president. After 9/11 I thought he was doing a fantastic job. But it has gone downhill steadily from there. President Bush said after winning the last election that he was going to spend his great political capital. He has run roughshod over the Constitution and the will of the people, making all manners of sneaky backroom deals and trying like hell to keep them hidden from everyone including Congress. Well, Mr. President, I think your political capital account is BEYOND OVERDRAWN and it's time for you to quit writing checks on it. Like the treasury.
