“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.”

Same paper, different headlines

Both of these articles now appear at the New York Times website and (presumably) in tomorrow's paper:

Call for Censure Is Rallying Cry to Bush's Base

and

Move to Curb Gifts of Travel Creates Rift in House G.O.P.

Which I guess means that the House G.O.P is not considered part of Bush's base? And where's the article that mentions that the Democratic base, despite the reluctance on the part of their representatives, is rallying behind Feingold's move? Will that be in Friday's edition of the paper?

The whole article about Bush's base rallying against the censure motion, however, has nothing to do with the "Bush base" rallying against the censure motion. It is, instead, about how Republicans are raising the specter of impeachment to try and raise money and drive out their base.

Leave it to the party of fear to employ it on their own people.
