Time to defy the Prez

Stephen Pizzo has a powerful metaphor to explain Congressional diffidence in regards to our Commuter and Thief (A.K.A. President Bush). Congress suffers from battered wife syndrome!

While it's refreshing to see and hear accomplished, articulate and sane adults suddenly talking right out loud about impeachment, nothing is going to happen unless the idea catches fire in Congress. So far it has not, and I have a theory why. Since last November's switch of control in Congress to Democrats, Congress been treated by this administration like the classic battered wife.
For the first six years of the Bush presidency he hardly had to raise his voice. During that period Congress was a perfect Stepford wife, obedient, deferential and which spoke only when spoken to. Then came the 2006 elections and the new Congress got restless. (Call it the Seven Year Itch.) Congress suddenly started talking back, demanding her "rights" and questioning the head of the household.

That's when the real abuse began, and it's gotten progressively worse ever since.

It's time for us to let Congress know that we the people will shelter them from Bush's wrath. Working to appease the tyrant hasn't resulted in transforming him into the kinder, gentler leader our nation needs. Like a spoiled brat, when lil'Bush gets his way, it just makes him worse.
