This is the country that Bush and Blair are standing shoulder to shoulder with.

1. Yeah, but she was PRO-LABOR! (oh, the horror!)

Bush'll think this is a good thing. In the end, there is one thing above all that Republicans stand for -- Labor at its cheapest. Everything else they do can be put rationally into this context.

2. despicable and this action should be condemned by our nation but ...

the Bush administration is probably whacking off with glee over this.
