Tom DeLay, man of principle.
Another man of principle, Bush silent on steel while in Pittsburgh.
Oh, Canada. "Recently, while musing about his retirement plans, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said he might just kick back and smoke some pot. 'I will have my money for my fine and a joint in the other hand,' he said with a smile."
Vansterdam looks better every day.
And, speaking of travel, Fareed Zakaria on Bush's trips to Iraq, Britain. He's the boy in the bubble.
"What is most dismaying about this state of affairs is that for the last 50 years the United States has skillfully merged its own agenda with the agendas of others, creating a sense of shared interests and values. When Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy waged the cold war, they also presented the world with a constructive agenda dealing with trade, poverty and health. They fought communism with one hand and offered hope with the other. We have fallen far from that model if the head of the Chinese Communist Party is seen as presenting the world with a more progressive agenda than the president of the world’s leading democracy."
More on the "unsuccessful" ambush in Iraq. The bad guys' intelligence is better than ours, they knew the convoy's purpose, that they would be carrying a lot of cash, and they are getting more -- much more -- sure of themselves.
Amy Sullivan calls Bush a spade. Allan Murray's column in the WSJ draws a similar line, comparing Bush to Nixon. With a half-trillion deficit looming for '04, Bush has not vetoed a single spending bill from the "drunken sailors" in the Republican-controlled congress. Milhouse once shocked his cabinet by announcing that they should "spend more." Like Nixon, Bush is not interested in anything other than getting re-elected.
