Dick and George

Eleanor Clift at NEWSWEEK elucidates upon the very strange arrangement involving Bush, Cheney, Rice, and the 9-11 Commission.

Essentially, in exchange for Condoleezza Rice's testimony in public, under oath, Bush and Cheney will appear before the Commission in tandem. Is there any precedent for this? I do not know. It is odd to say the least.

It's embarrassing to be an American. :) This is what passes for leadership? I hope that American's of all political stripes take a good, hard look at Bush.

Clift points out the obvious in her piece, and manages to have more than a bit of fun at our chief executive's(executives'?) expense.

For Bush supporters this must be an awkward moment at best. For Bush detractors, it certainly lends credence to the nagging suspicions that Bush has never really held the reins of power in the White House.
