Just arrived in my inbox....

Breaking News: Because of your help, the House just passed legislation that will go to the White House that includes critical issues Democrats have been fighting for including: canceling the President's blank check in Iraq, raising the minimum wage, and increased funding for military health care and veterans' benefits, and help for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Dear (Sparkly),

THEN:
Two weeks ago, President Bush vetoed our legislation to demand accountability in Iraq and declared he would only sign a bill without any accountability for his management of the war.

NOW:
Now, the President has agreed to accountability and reporting provisions. That means for the first time we can force the President to be held accountable for his endless war in Iraq. We canceled the President's blank check in Iraq.

I find that a bit pathetic.

1. Not a scintilla of it. They're trying to put lipstick on a pig. nt

3. No. It's more like they are trying to stop angry dems from leaving the party and going indie.

Or worst stop funding them (and other DLC dems).

4. There isn't now, there never has been, and there never will be enough

lipstick to make that pig attractive.

2. Breaking news...the sky is really green today. breaking news...

you thought you had a steak for dinner. Well, it was eggs! Lipstick on a pig is way too generous an analogy. I am too angry to come up with anything better, though.
