Revolting Republicans

While some news sources touted something of a victory for Bush this week, int the Senate and at the U.N., at least one reports that Bush faced a full fledged rebellion on Iraq consisting of 8 Senators.

According to the report, and to me this is the beauty part, Bush pitched a bit of a tantrum.

On Tuesday, Mr Bush had called in nine Republican rebels and ordered them to support his version of the bill, reportedly slamming a table at one point and refusing to answer their questions.

The outburst did him little good. Eight Republican senators voted against the administration on Thursday. One rebel, Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine, said: “It was very difficult to stop this train because it made so much sense.”

The article also includes a laundry list of the administrations troubles thus far. For this month, anyway.
