Bush Bypasses Senate to Close Military Bases

Story here. I think we can all appreciate how political this is.

A couple of notable things, however. One is that this will NOT stop GOP talking points that Clinton killed all the military bases (even though it was Cheney under Bush I who put the plan into place). The rabid ruling wing of the GOP never lets facts get in the way of anything. Second is that Bush promised, after getting one of his wingers a recess appointment to the fed court of appeals, not to do anymore recess appointments.

Wow. Bush lies. There's a news flash.

Funny thing though is that with the GOP controlled Senate and House so willing to let Bush run a one man show, we could save ourselves a MINT if we stopped paying Congress and sent them home. Is that a democracy? No. But neither's America under Bush.
