Well shit, Bush can't blame "activist judges" for this one. Wonder if he'll call those Republican congressmen traitors.

better yet, i'd love to hear Sean Hannity try and portray the gun-totin' hard core Idaho-Montana-Wyoming ultra-conservatives who stood up to Bush as weeney liberals. Now that would be funny.

But to a hardcore authoritarian asshole like Hannity, they are 'socialist weenies'. :roll:

Sweet fancy jesus, the libertarian spirit of the old Republican party rears it's head! Ah, it's good to see such things happen, just when I was beginning to lose hope...

I wish poor Mr. Bush would explain to them the PATRIOT act is neccesary to fight terrorists. I mean, if you haven't done anything wrong, why should you be worried?
