He likes Huck
Daily Kos again today suggests Gov. Mike Huckabee is a breakout Republican candidate in 2008 on account of his moderation on some issues. He's impressed by the governor's $500,000 fund-raiser, too, which is interesting, because 1) local Republicans thought it was puny for a long-term governor with so many chits to call in and 2) Clinton outdid that 15 years worth of inflation ago. Kos also doesn't get to Gimmegate, Dumond, his tax record, his petulancy, etc. But some of his readers do.
More important for the moment is his commentary and link to a story in which Republicans are hungry to see Dems in Congress make good on a promise to be more inclusive, so they can continue their game of running hot-button political votes to create campaign issues. The Democrats need to govern. But they don't need to roll over and play dead for these jokers, Kos says. And we agree.
Comments
So long as Demos repeal Military Commissions Act, increase min wage,
totally reform Medicare Part D and impeach Dick Cheney, they can offer all the helping hands Republicans feel like they need, especially since R's were ever so inclusive for the past 12 years. Screw'em. They had their time at the mic, and we're paying twice as much for gas, food costs 2x as much, 3000 soliders sacrificed to pump up Haliburton's bottom line, Korea gets to shoot missles at Japan, and we're the most despised nation on earth, so just screw'em. Carville had it right, when you see one drowning toss him an anchor.

Well said, Lwood. I don't think or expect the new Democratic Congress to whip out the stocks or the guillotine, but I do expect them to see that all laws are upheld, something they've sworn to do in their oath of office.
As hard as the Bush Crime Family has tried to change all the laws to exclude themselves, there are still enough laws on the books to cook the collective geese of the Bush administration.
When a cop gives you a ticket for speeding, he's not being mean, he's upholding the law. When the new Congress hauls most of the Bush administration in front of a judge, it's won't be meanness....it will be their job, it will be the right thing to do and it is the only thing that will save our country.
Personally, I'd like to take a ball bat to them, but I pretend Congress is filled with people better than I who will leave their ball bats at home and merely use the US Constitution to deal with the Bush felons.
Forget HBO and the return of the Sopranos, I'm itching to watch Bush and Cheney testify under oath for the first time in history. I want them to hold off executing Sadam, so they can include Bush & Cheney in a 3 some of justice.

That's fine zonker. Let him be obstinate. When other witnesses confirm his double dealings with gov-Haliburton schemes he can still be impeached whether he testifies or not.
He can also be held in contempt and put in jail for it.
