GOP foils Dems' bid to repudiate Bush

actually, i'm not entirely sure why i have such a negative reaction to the ap headline, but i do... for some reason, it strikes a very discordant tone for me, conjuring up images of a turn-of-the-century melodrama where the villain ties the heroine to the railroad track because she can't pay her rent, and the white knight, dudley do-right, rides in to save the day... so, here's the evil, mustachioed villain (the dastardly dems) trying to tie the embattled lone ranger (george bush) to the railroad track (the iraq resolution), when tonto (the faithful repubs) appears in the nick of time to save the lone ranger's whitebread hide... is it just me, or am i having a sunday morning hallucinatory flashback...?
