No Confidence in Gonzales

You may have heard that the Senate attempted a vote of no confidence in the Attorney General. Two quick points:

1.) I wonder if Princess Nancy will attempt the same resolution for the House. House rules don't require super-majorities to close debates, hence the majority party basically calls the agenda shots.

2.) Did you catch Dubya's quote in that article? "[The Senate] can have their votes of no confidence, but it's not going to make the determination about who serves in my government." Now, to be fair, I'm sure the President meant to say "my cabinet," or "my administration" or something to that effect. But he said, "my government," as in, "my house" or "my car" or "my [something else that I own and no one else does so back off!]."

Very presidential.

Good job Pres. I also like Trent Lott's quote, "This is a nonbinding, irrelevant resolution proving what? Nothing. Maybe we should be considering a vote of no confidence on the Senate or on the Congress for malfunction and an inability to produce anything."
