Hell, they are trying their best to get two more Friedman Units still out of the “surge.” The letter to Hillary shows that the republican election smear campaign is in full swing against the democratic frontrunners so the election has officially begun. Everyone in the White House will be working their buns off politicizing anything Obama and Clinton say or do, all on the taxpayer’s money. It will be interesting to see if Bush is allowed to endorse the rebublican nominee.</p> I’m sure a contingency withdraw plan is the farthest thing from the Bush Administration’s mind right now as they have no plans to leave Iraq.

TiredFed@86, more seriously.

is there anyway to find all the recess and interim appointments and check just how many are in a Bradbury/Edelman/Griffin-and-who-knows-how many-more-overstaying situation?

I would be happy to contribute to the endeavor if takes research elbow grease.

“impede our sworn obligation to provide oversite”

TiredFed you are our TiredFREUD:

it’s overSIGHT. The Congress provides oversight. FDL provides the OVERSITE, the site that (thanks in part to you) oversees the overseers.

Someone should do a collection of our unintentional puns. yesterday re Reichstag, someone asked about “reigning the administration in. ” its reining, of course, but with this King George, reigning is just right. just write FDL pups, you keep me hoping (and hopping.)

OT, checkout TPMemos for the present that “Wait, wait don’t tell me” just gave Fitz for his taping tmr.’s show. Hint, it has two wheels.

The f*cking broken record:

When I read stories like these, it always makes me want to ask where were the equipment upgrades and pay raises and everything else were when the Republicans controlled the Congress.

We are just gaining some ground and congress is about to break for what, an entire month? Bush and Goebbels Co will have an entire month of speeches like this with no push back!

Aside from little ole stuff like impeachment, dying troops, daily over site, recess appointments etc.. Congress should not take a recess in August.
