What a bunch of whiney babies. Good Grief. These guys (and I use that term very loosely) can dish it out but when the heat is on them then they cry. After the grilling they've given Condoleeza Rice and Alberto Gonzales and now the Homeland Security appointment you'd think they would know turnabout is fair play. But noooooo. Not for the whiney boys and girls of the Democrat Party. Annoying, very annoying.

Senate Democrats demanded Thursday that President Bush order a halt to personal attacks on the party's leader, Sen. Harry Reid, and expressed regret they had failed to mount a stronger defense for his defeated predecessor.

"This is a new Democratic party," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a news conference called to release a letter telling Bush to muzzle his "political operatives." ........

"This is the Abu Ghraib defense, that a few renegade soldiers are responsible for their own behavior and the commanders are not accountable," said Durbin, second in the leadership behind Reid. His remarks were a reference to claims by military officials that a few low-ranking enlisted personnel were responsible for the shocking conditions at a U.S.-run prison in Iraq. .........

The letter to Bush was signed by all the Senate's Democrats except Reid, as well as Sen. James Jeffords, an independent from Vermont.

The RNC distributed a 13-page compilation of criticisms, dissecting Reid's voting record and accusing him of obstructing Bush's agenda over the years. One portion of the document notes that the Nevada lawmaker lives in a costly condominium when he is in Washington - a point that Democrats said has no bearing on policy disputes with the White House.

Did you notice the comment about Abu Ghraib. Whoa...can't leave that out of any discussion. Cuz as we all know, President Bush and SecDef Rumsfeld directly told Graner and the airhead clerk to have a nude pyramid of prisoners. etc. I don't think I'll go any further with that description.
