RE: Feingold to call for rare presidential censure

Feingold, a member of the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence committees, said a censure would "send a clear signal" that Bush's actions were "wrong."

Actually, Senator Feingold, it does nothing of the sort. All it accomplishes is to demonstrate that the sophomoric, partisan shoving match that the US Congress has become is alive and well.

Addendum

Senator Frist's response is equally ridiculous, but it does support my point on the behavior of Congress:

So the signal that is sends, that there is in any way a lack of support for our Commander-in-Chief, who is leading us with a bold vision in a way that we know is making our homeland safer, is wrong.

I'm not even going to touch the bold vision crap, but if Frist doesn't think our enemies are smart enough to figure out that Bush's dismal approval ratings amount to a lack of support, he is even less intelligent than I thought him. Occam's razor suggests that Frist has just decided to answer demagoguery with more, louder demagoguery.

And so it goes.
