Giving Demos A Reason To Crow

A few weeks ago in this very space I implored W to stop giving the liberals ammunition. He hasn't heeded my words (as if he knew I had words). Nonetheless, he keeps sticking his neck out and the Demos keep lopping off his head, so to speak. He was giving them plenty of reasons to crow when he was talking about the environment a while back. That's what prompted my first advice-to-W column. But now things seem to be taking a turn for the worse. The W administration has even disillusioned one Senate Republican to become an independent, a monumental development that may well handcuff W's attempt to press his agenda. This senator effectively will hand over control of the Senate and all its committees to the Democrats. And more than likely screw up a whole bunch of possible judicial appointments. One would think W and his men could have stroked Rep.Sen.James Jeffords of Vermont enough to keep him in the fold. But no.They honked him off instead.
