The media has been dominantly rightwing for 30 years, which is why America is in the dumper, hated worldwide, and losing all its wars. Bush can continue to veto giving aid and assistance to poor kids; it will just make the destruction of the GOP more complete. There will be serious hell to pay after 1/20/09, and hillary or Obama or Edwards is going to have a field day jailing republican slime with their new powers. I'm looking forward to perp-walks of repukes on a daily basis. I hope to see Bush hang, and will fly to the Hague to witness it personally. Perfect examples are L.A Times, S.F. Chronicle.
