President Bush takes his phase-out follies to Alabama today. And we’re filing this nugget under Heading: Bamboozlepalooza, Subsection: Ouch!
Republicans hold seven of Alabama’s nine congressional seats, but most won’t be there when Bush speaks today. Rep. Mike Rogers of Anniston is the only congressman who has announced he will attend, and he has publicly expressed doubts about Bush’s plan. Other congressmen cited committee meetings and congressional votes as reasons for their absence.
So the only guy who’ll show up is the one who’s got the guts to tell him ‘no’ to his face?
