I don't know what to make of this but I have a feeling the Republicans in DC are finally beginning to wake up. Maybe they are finally starting to figure out that it's time for a change.

I'm not holding my breath though.

The BBC said yesterday that it looked like the Republicans covering their asses: "See? We've tried to sort it but those nasty Democrats are trying to wreck the country."

I have the impression that watching American politics is becoming an increasingly popular hobby over here. I wish I could claim it was from sober political interest, but I suspect the showbiz and soap opera elements also enthrall. :wah:

Could be Clod. I do believe there is a theater element to it but considering what has happened here lately there's a lot of ill feeling towards the GOP amongst those who give a damn.

It's the attraction of the theatre of the absurd. Half the politicians would be laughed out of office in the UK.

They're all a bunch of self serving idiots. That's why I will never vote for any incumbets.
