When it comes to Republican presidents, AP hacks sure know how to apply the spin:
A lame duck president called again for immigration reform, an end to lawmakers’ pet projects, control of Social Security spending and making tax cuts permanent. Democrats have rejected those Bush initiatives before.
Poor Bush! If only he wasn’t a lame duck and battling the dastardly Democratic Congress, we’d have licked this whole foreign invasion mess, cut pork, fixed Social Security, and saved you tax money. Oh, the injustice! The Democrats are always blocking his thousand points of light. In other news, Chris Matthews saved a baby from a burning building.
And while I understand Speaker Pelosi has to shake Bush’s hand, did she have to look so gleeful about it? The guy’s kind of a mass murderer. Of course, every other Democrat joined in giving him standing ovations, and that was equally as special. We might as well have just knitted him a nice sweater, or given him an apron that says “Will Cook for Iraqi Blood.”
At this rate, the Democrats will have the best of both worlds: being equally complicit in the raping and pillaging of the world while singularly receiving all the blame for everything that’s gone wrong.
McCain’s coming, people…
God, don’t scare me like that. If we get President McCain, I think it might be time to reconsider being expatriates.

Yeah, that happened a long time ago. They sort of deserve the first one, though, and the second one will be the spin for the next four years. Liberal bias, my ass.

*headdesk* If I have to hear the word “maverick” one more fucking time, I swear…
And yeah, expatriates sounds like a decent option, Amanda. I would if I could.
