Fred Barnes is a tool, however...

[cadaverdog]

I despise Fred Barnes. His smirking countenance almost drove me from one of my guilty pleasures, a program my wife calls "People Who Yell at Each Other," AKA, "The McLaughlin Group." Fortunately, he's gone, but only to be replaced by that posturing peacock from the editorial page of the Washington Times, Tony Blankley. Sorry Tony, despite the weight loss you still dress like a Republican pimp, which is fitting for someone who shills for the Reverend Moon. But I digress.

Fred Barnes has an article in the recent edition of the Weekly Standard (hey, know your enemy) which really gives the finger to the new Democratic majority in the Congress. Here's a sample:
"Bush and the Republicans aren't dominant. They're a minority, but an unusually effective one. One measure of this: At the end of 2007, there will be more American troops in Iraq than when Democrats took over Congress in January. Another: Democrats have momentum on no domestic issue, not even health care. A third: Senate Republicans last week defeated an amendment urging Bush not to pardon former White House aide Scooter Libby and won overwhelming passage of another that says terrorists jailed at Guantánamo shouldn't be transferred to U.S. soil."

Every member of the Democratic Congress should be forced to read this entire smear, and have their noses rubbed in it, and if that doesn't make them mad enough to start showing some cajones, then we truly are lost.
