Bush II; Day 136: Is this what legislators should be doing?
OK, forgive me. I somehow thought our deficits, and our war, and our border security, and our health care crisis, and on and on and on...I somehow thought all of those issues were top of the mind for our government officials.
I thought wrong.
Right now they're thinking about steroids in baseball.
And sexy moves in cheerleading.
And most disgusting of all...carting a woman in a vegetative state from Florida to Washington DC and putting her on public display...all to thwart the repeated rulings from the judiciary that this is not a political football, not a situation for legislators to play around with to prove points about abortion.
Lots of bloggers have eloquent things to say about this, from left-to-right on the political spectrum:
LaShawn Barber lets one of her readers do the talking. (Even though I think LaShawn actually disagrees.)
Oliver Willis quotes Neal Boortz.
