“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.”

Not in my house

News from the Senate suggests they are having a harder time gift wrapping the legislation that would legalize the President's illegal wiretapping. But Republicans in the House, it seems, see no need to waste their time:
Jamal Ware, spokesman for House Intelligence Chairman Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich., said the congressman is not working to pass similar legislation in the House and "has been very consistent that the president has the necessary legal authority."

So despite the fact that only 31% of the country feels that Bush obeyed the law by ordering the wiretaps, Republican control of the house will prevent the other 62% from discovering the truth.
