"Bush must be more forthcoming..."

the complete comment reads, "President Bush must be more forthcoming about the eavesdropping program to retain Congress's good will."

gag. me. with. a. spoon.

when you've got a president pulling the kind of shit bush has been pulling for almost six years, saying something nicey-nice like he must be "more forthcoming" just reeks of weenieness...

and president bush has gotta be "more forthcoming" because...? because if he isn't, you're gonna cry...? you're gonna go tell mommie...? you're gonna go back to your constituents, wring your hands and say, "look, he's the big, bad president and what's a body to to...?" put on your kevlar vests, you wimpy bastards, and do the job you were elected to do, namely being the third leg of the stool, one of the three co-equal branches of the united states government... goddam it... GODDAM IT...! DO YOUR FRIGGIN' JOBS...!

At two key moments in recent days, White House officials contacted congressional leaders just ahead of intelligence committee meetings that could have stirred demands for a deeper review of the administration's warrantless-surveillance program, according to House and Senate sources.

In both cases, the administration was spared the outcome it most feared, and it won praise in some circles for showing more openness to congressional oversight.

But the actions have angered some lawmakers who think the administration's purported concessions mean little. Some Republicans said that the White House came closer to suffering a big setback than is widely known, and that President Bush must be more forthcoming about the eavesdropping program to retain Congress's good will.
