I remain hopeful that some good will come out of this last election. Perhaps Bushco will be able to reform the tax code and institute a flat tax. That would almost make up for his foreign policy gaffes in my mind. It should be a lot easier than it is to start up and run a business in this country (There! My Republican half has come out of the closet!).
I was watching Meet the Press this morning and thought Tim gave Karl Rove a big pass on a lot of questions. Rove is one of the most polished speakers I've seen on Meet the Press but there is little doubt in my mind that Tim just didn't pursue him on certain questions ("Is there a right to privacy in the US constitution?") Asked but not in any way answered. Most of the questions were like that. With some spin put on the answer the less attentive might think that they were answered. I hadn't counted Tim Russert in that group so I think he just didn't want to step on Rove's toes. The man (Rove) is probably the most powerful man in America today.
Richelieu behind the throne.
