Phils get Blanton: Congress is spineless

The Phillies traded for Joe Blanton-they certainly have as much chance as anyone to win the division, so this can only strengthen their hand.

During my travels today, I overheard CNN's Jack Cafferty asking, "Why does Congress allow President Bush to get away with so much?"

Well, first of all, Jack, reread the Constitution. There's only so much they can do.

Second of all, at least part of the problem is, well, CNN. A news network should be reporting, uh, news. "Something bad happened to a guy," is not news.

Perhaps if CNN led off every newscast with, "President Bush added another illegal signing statement to a bill today," people would get the message.

Right wingers would, of course, scream and yell about bias, because they hate the truth, but they're doing that now, so what difference does it make?
