Bush's glossary of specialized terms

according to today's nyt...

consultation

... a chance for lawmakers to hear about decisions [Bush] had already made

bipartisanship

... a chance for Democrats to join Republicans in rubber-stamping those choices

Congressional oversight

... self-serving and possibly seditious

interestingly, the article picks up on a term first used, insofar as i can tell, by the blogosphere to describe congressional response to the above...
capitulation

... the point when ... Congress bowed and backed out of the room [after] the White House ... predictably accused the Democrats of being soft on terrorism for opposing illegal wiretapping and of partisan politicking in their attempt to get to the bottom of the attorneys scandal
