Most of the mainstream newspapers continue to ignore that only 14% of the people have confidence in the Democratic Congress. The NY Times headlined on Thursday: “Immigrant Bill Dies in Senate; Defeat for Bush.” I thought Harry Reid led the Senate. But bless Carolyn Lochhead of the San Francisco Chronicle’s Washington Bureau for noticing that Reid and Nancy Pelosi are abyssmal failures. (emphasis added)
Sure, President Bush wanted the bill passed. But so did Kennedy, Reid, and a lot of Democrats. Just because Bush couldn’t get the rest of the Republicans, and even some of the Democrats to join the lemming rush to pass the bill, doesn’t mean it’s only his defeat.
