[Sosfbay-discuss] BREAKING NEWS - Another GOP Senator Breaks with Bush

[Andrea Dorey]

I agree, Alex.
We let poor little old Reagan off the hook because of his age, AKA  
Alzheimer's, now we're letting Shrub off the hook because he's almost  
out of office.
What kind of message does that give?  Delay as long as you can and  
they (the huddled masses) think they have no standing and give up?

I say hold his feet to the fire until the last breath taken in the  
Oval Office.
