Republicans fracturing under the weight of screwups and corruption

The Republican Party caucus is coming apart at the seams.

1. Some of the more heinous provisions of the Patriot Act go down in flames (despite the White House's hefty lobbying efforts) because the GOP leadership is too selfish and stupid to accept a Dem proposal for a short term extention.{Yay! Score on for the good guys]

2.Bush's decision to let the NSA wiretap American citizens without the benefit of a warrant may come back to bite him in the ass. Remember kids, Presidents breaking the law is an "impeachable offense"....or does it only count for bj's?

3. McCain goes toe to toe with Bush on torture..and Bush blinks. Not that McCain can win me over anymore...he lost that when he glad handed Bush in 2004. Besides, standing firm on torture is the least an American Senator can do.

4.The Defense Appropriations bill is in trouble because Ted Stevens attached an ANWR drilling rider. It would appear Stevens' move has caused a filibuster threat that includes Republicans, which the GOP leadership likely can't fight off.

5. W couldn't talk about "ongoing investigations" before he could.
