That's Leadership!

Been real busy of late, but this snippet from the NYTimes felt worth passing along:

Bush vetoed no bills during his first five years in office. He has since vetoed a stem cell research bill twice, an Iraq spending bill that set guidelines for troop withdrawals, and a children's health insurance bill. House and Senate Republicans managed to sustain those vetoes.

Man, what a guy. He vetoes nothing - including horrible bills that racked up huge deficits like the Medicare and Pharmaceutical bills - but he wants to veto research into finding ways to cure serious medical problems, provide insurance to poor children and start measures to end a brutal war that more than 60% of the country is against.

That's leadership, folks. What a douche. Glad the Senate finally put him in his place, even if its not the first thing I'd have chosen to do that with.
