Froomkin Speaks!

If the majority of Americans disapprove of Dubya, why do our pussified pundits act as if only radical lefty nutcases are critical of Dear Leader?

But for a few anemic signs of independence, the Republican-controlled Congress seems happy following his lead. Not so the American public.
