I just realized that the entire Congress has also been on vacation for the past month. No wonder they have been so silent - they are as guilty as the administration in their neglect of their citizens.
So I had to check to see just how many had returned to Washington DC. How many Senators showed up to vote for the emergency approprations bill? 4...that's right 4 out of 100. I seriously doubt the House will be any better represented when they vote on this bill.
Where the hell are they? They should have all got off their collective fat asses onto planes days ago and be ready to govern. But only 4 Senators are there.
I have totally written off the administration, but the Congress is equally culpable. We can't get rid of GW in 2006 but we certainly can try and clean house in Congress next year.
I say get rid of them all!
