Finding fake issues and feeding them to the news machines is not what we elected our senators and members of Congress to do.

About North Korean Disarming
Nevermind.
North Korea stayed away from six-nation talks on its nuclear program Tuesday in a dispute over $25 million of its funds, dimming prospects for progress on getting the communist regime to disarm. But Christopher Hill, the chief American envoy to the negotiations, met with Kim Kye Gwan, his North Korean counterpart, and later downplayed concerns that efforts to meet goals outlined in a landmark Feb. 13 disarmament agreement were in vain.
Spin, spin and more spin. The fact remains – the North Koreans cannot be trusted.
Spineless
Ahem.
The White House offered on Tuesday to make President George W. Bush’s senior political adviser, Karl Rove, and other officials available to congressional investigators to give unsworn testimony in the firings of U.S. attorneys. In a letter to relevant members of Congress, White House counsel Fred Fielding made clear he was not offering them to give sworn testimony as they have requested.
So, this is the post-November 2006 election White House. Gradual cave-in after cave-in.
Lame duck indeed.
