Apologies will be accepted.
Feingold is going to announce on ABC's This Week his proposed censure of President George Bush that he says "would cause Bush to apologize for the warrantless surveillance that he put in place on his own after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001." more: "The idea that the president can just make up the law in violation of his oath of office has to be answered," Feingold said.

Is this the long-awaited start of an organized strategy by the DEMS marching towards '06 elections and '08 Presidential race? Nah. They're still trying to figure out if they can get any more mileage out of the Ports. Guys, story's over...move on. As usual, a day late and a dollar short. "Current House Democrats, on the other hand, can't have lunch without a disagreement." (Slate here)
Meanwhile, McCain's getting his weird on and doing a pretty good interpretation of Howard Dean at the GOP straw poll in TN last night. McCain lost and said some weird stuff about writing in Bush's name...whatever, dude. Don't get weird this early and lose what little momentum you've got. We think it will be interesting to see if McCain implodes. If so, who ya gonna call? Bill Frist for President? Don't think so. (WaPo here)
Finally, don't think Bush, Cheney, et al are worried about what you're worried about...these guys are playing frat house jokes on each other. At the Gridiron Club on Sat. nite Bush JOKED about Mr. Whittington's getting shot (you remember that, don't you?) "Bush pointed out that the vice president’s full name is Richard B. Cheney. “B. stands for bulls eye,” Bush said to laughter from the hundreds of reporters and officials from the administration and Congress. The press, Bush joked, blew the matter way out of proportion: “Good Lord, you’d thought he shot somebody or something.” " (MSN here) Thanks for showing your true colors, boys.
