well that's just the problem isn't it, the democrats are just as much to blame for giving Bush a free ride as anyone else. on one hand you have the Republicans who will do their best to crucify someone for the slightest issue (though they were strangely quiet during the whole pedophile senator episode, who also happened to be a republican), and then on the other hand you have the democrats who will stand up on a soapbox and decry Bush, but when it comes to action the biggest thing that they have the balls to muster is a "non-binding resolution". they're so worried about trying to please everybody that they end up doing nothing and pleasing no one (kind of like the Liberals in Canada)
i guess it's safer to say that American politics is just a mess and isn't likely to get better anytime soon
