I found this year in review post to be right on the money and wanted to share it with you here.
The ‘Fear in Review’: Diary of a Scared Congress
Dear Diary:
As a freshman Congressman from the Democratic Class of ‘06, I had high hopes of doing some serious ass Bush-kicking, but as things turned out, it looks as if we were whipped like a non-neo-con on a southern Cheney gang. Here are some of the lowlights:
1. Iraq. OK, we only worked on non-binding resolutions to restrict funding for Iraq, but we did manage to put them in a … binder! But I have to admit Dubya got the upper hand once again, claiming that we’d be a bunch of wusses unless we personally participated in the surge in Sadr City. Well, Xmas in Baghdad’s not exactly like home, especially since there’s not even enough electricity to light the tree. But the news is not all bad: Jack Murtha has collected another purple heart, and they say a pretty good fireworks show is expected on New Year’s Eve.
2. Iran. Speaking of non-binding resolutions, when are we finally gonna learn to read the small print on these damn Administration proposals. Now both the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and the Democrat Party, are labeled “terrorist organizations.”
