bush allies

This is what it has come to! bush is shaking hands with a representative of Mongolia, a country that is one of our biggest allies in Iraq with 160 soldiers there.

I talked to Rodger Beimer this morning who is on his way to aide Katrina refugees in Louisiana for the Thanksgiving Holiday along with his wife Connie. He described a highway sign as he crossed the border into Texas. It said, "Welcome to the great state of Texas, proud home of the President of the United States-George Bush." I wonder if some of that pride may have disappeared in this remarkable meltdown of bush's credibility. I still don't understand what took so long, but as one pundit said, "credibility is like virginity, once it is gone you can't get it back!"

Apparently Heather Wilson was given a 'bye' by the republicans and voted against the budget bill that authorizes that give away of land under the 1872 Mining Law. Bobbi and I bumped into Patsy Madrid last night at the movie (Pride and Prejudice) and Patsy made the comment that her entry into the race is already turning Heather into a Democrat. I hope people won't fall for that kind of thing. bush and his buddies simply must be dealt a defeat in the midterm elections.
