“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

All's fair for the incumbent

The Denver Post:
Denver taxpayers are picking up a $57,500 tab for President Bush's visit to the city to raise $2.2 million for Republican candidates.

Denver Police Chief Gerry Whitman does not expect to get a refund.

I realize that every incumbent uses the "official business" excuse. But it still pisses me off.
