Bush's surrender continues...

As if the events of recent days surrounding President Bush's decision to treat all terrorism-related prisoners held by the US Military in accordance with the Geneva Conventions (see my last post), his surrender to the left and to Al Qaeda continues. Now he's decided to submit the international NSA wiretaps to the FISA courts.

No wonder Bush's approval ratings, which had been up when he was making actual presidential decisions, are back down.

Meanwhile, in the "Too stupid for words" category, when's the last time you heard of the president of a major brewery being stupid enough to drive under the influence? Apparently failed Colorado Senatorial candidate Pete Coors (R) wanted to be the answer to that question. One can only guess how many anti-drinking PSA's he'll be assigned to do (no doubt standing by a mountain stream identified as being "near Golden, Colorado" that is, in fact, nowhere within 150 miles of Golden) for his community service requirement...
