329-78 - now THIS is bipartisanship

ladies and gentlemen, THIS is checks and balances... too bad it has to be a do-over...

In a 329-78 vote last night, the House of Representatives followed the Senate and stripped President George W. Bush of the authority to appoint United States Attorneys on an interim basis, ending the ability of the Bush administration to do an end run around the Senate in putting controversial US Attorneys in office.

this is the kind of bipartisanship we so desperately need, lawmakers coming together to put the stoppers on bush and his criminal gang continuing to accrue unfettered executive power...
