Who Exactly Is In Charge?Because apparently it isn't Bush, who now
claims he had no part in the deal to hand over six major ports to the UAE. That he
didn't even know till it was approved, apparently not by him. Perhaps he was clearing brush.

Yesterday he was
talking tough as though it
was his idea,
threatening to break his veto cherry, but that was before, I guess, he realized that it was
Republicans losing their shit over this too. They know this will be impossible to explain to voters as election time grows near and that conservative voters might just stay home. So they're quite ready and able to override any vetos Bush might threaten.
Who approved it? John Snow, who used to work with the UAE-government-owned company in question here. But the law says the president has to review it, and that the period should be 45 days.
Much more here. Gee, this couldn't be another example of the Bushies abusing our government via patronage, could it?
Just how did they think this would slip by unnoticed? And how stupid and dangerous is this government, and how long before even Republicans realize that Bush is their worst liability and is leading them merrily off a cliff in exchange for their sick, blind loyalty?
And will they be able to stop him now that they have a reason, or do balls not grow back quite so fast?
This
illegitimate government is about to devour itself, and I just hope the rest of us don't go down with it.
