I am a relatively tolerant person who doesn't hold a grudge, but over the years, I find myself nearly unable to watch/hear Dubya. JMH tries to provoke us similarly here at TP, but mostly he is just too stupid to evoke any gut reaction. Do others feel themselves physically ill and angry whenever they hear Bush speak?

I'm starting a file of the administration's use of anonymous sources. Here's today's: 12-29-07: New York Times – A senior administration official said, “The Iraqis certainly did raise very serious and strong concerns about this, which were confirmed as we really dived into this and gamed out the consequences.” The White House allowed the official to speak only if not identified. I could keep very busy dating back before the Valerie Plame Wilson nonsense -- maybe I'll just be like the administration and "move forward. We're forward moving. We're looking forward to moving forward..." ... cause looking back points out all your shortcomings.

This is an outdated, archaic mechanism, but it has been used by Reagan, Bush I, and Clinton. Great read on the law surrounding the “pocket veto” at:
