Congressional response

While I was sipping my coffee this morning and doing my normal survey of online news, blogs and such, Mrs. CaliBlogger was watching C-SPAN.

I have a hard time sitting through interminable, repetitive speechifying (some of these folks could really use some public speaking lessons), but Mrs. C is far more patient than I (but then she'd need to be wouldn't she?).

What struck me, as speaker after speaker condemned Bush's escalation surge, was how many of those speakers had an R before their names.

Bush may not read polls (yeah right), but Republican congressmen surely do.
