The Exercise of Vital Powers

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has resigned.

So I go to the mailbox today, and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a letter from Speaker Nancy Pelosi! She says that with my help they’ll “keep fighting to force Republicans in the House to abandon support for George W. Bush’s failed policies…”.

Sign me up! I’m all about forcing House Republicans to abandon Bush’s support for No Child Left Behind, Medicare Part D, earmark abuse and run-away government spending. I find it curious however that Speaker Pelosi would want to help House Republicans abandon the very mistakes that helped her get where she is today.

Perhaps she realizes that its easier to be in the minority and whine and complain than actually build coalitions to get legislation passed.

I still think its a trick.

Check out Blog For Democracy’s List of candidates for the Democratic Party of Georgia.

I like how they list the race of everyone running. So much for not being judged by the color of their skin.

And check out this bit of PC silliness:

according to the State Bylaws, a gender balance must be preserved between the Chair and 1st Vice Chair positions. Such that, if a man is elected Chair then State Committee members will only be allowed to vote for female 1st Chair candidates and vice versa if a woman is elected as Chair.

So the presence or absence of a penis is more important to the Democrats than who is qualified to hold the position. No wonder they are losing ground in Georgia.

While I laugh at this silliness, it does bother me. Without a capable opposition party the Republicans in this state will eventually develop the arrogance that infected the national Republicans.

So I’m watching the first half of The Path to 9/11 - the half that deals with the Clinton Administration, and I can see why they wanted to silence it. Its not that the movie reflect poorly on Bill Clinton. Its that it makes all of Clinton’s underlings looks like the spineless wimps they are.

And if you’re hoping your party is going to re-take the White House in 2 years, you don’t want the American Public associating you with the decision not to take down Bin Laden in 1998.

Madeline Albright comes out looking particularly idiotic.
