Bush looks at nominal "leader" of Congress Nancy Pelosi, like the cat that ate the canary.
IN TAKING IMPEACHMENT "OFF THE TABLE," Nancy Pelosi has been an (at least) one-hundred-million-dollar GIFT to Mr. Bush and his Republican Party.
She has ENABLED OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, from Alberto Gonzales PERJURY in front of the Judiciary Committee, to HARRIET MIERS and JOSH BOLTON saying "go ____ yourselves" to those Judiciary Committee Congressional Subpoenaes, to Mr. Bush giving an (all but) PARDON to Scooter Libby, OBSTRUCTING any further prosecution or tying up of the ends (loose threads) of that case. (The entire world, except for Ms. Pelosi and the Democrat 'leadership,' well know that Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney were at the very core of the CIA-outing scandal, and subsequent OBSTRUCTION OF JUSICE subsequent to that crime. Only a deluded Democrat enabler would think that mega-DC lawyer and experienced bureaucrat Lewis Libby would be a "loose canon" outing CIA operative Valerie Plame's name on his own initiative; besides which, his perjury and obstruction of justice CONVICTIONS established that there was a broad, deep, and wide-ranging effort out of the White House to both "out" Ms. Plame's CIA identity, and to OBSTRUCT the facts of that outing when the FBI and federal prosecutors investiated it.)
Just this week, Nancy Pelosi HANDED OVER ANOTHER SEVENTY BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, to spend as they see fit in their wars in Iraq... for which Nancy got scolded out of Washington DC today, Mr. Bush blasting Pelosi and the Democrats for "WASTEFUL SPENDING."
YOU GOT THAT, NANCY? YOU, on behalf of the MILLIONS of Democratic Voters who THOUGHT they were getting an oppositon party when they CONTRIBUTED to the damn Democrat Party, and showed up to vote.. YOU JUST HANDED Mr. Bush ANOTHER SEVENTY BILLION no-strings, no-oversight, NO SAFEGUARDS AGAINST FRAUD and CORRUPTION taxpayer DOLLARS - and Mr. Bush B****-SLAPPED YOU right out of Washington, complaining about your "WASTEFUL SPENDING"!
NANCY, we hope when Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney and thier AIPAC neo-con allies extend THEIR WARS to IRAN, SYRIA, Uzbekistan, and the other former Soviet Republics, YOUR GRANDCHILDREN will have the HONOR of taking part!

Bush said:
"When Congress wastes so much time and leaves its work to the final days before Christmas, it is not a responsible way to run this government."
"Another thing that's not responsible is the number of earmarks that Congress included in the massive spending bill," he said, referring to provisions to fund pet projects in lawmakers' home states or districts. He said the omnibus bill includes about 9,800 earmarks, bringing to about 11,900 the number of projects funded this year when a previously passed defense spending bill is included.
"And so, I'm instructing budget director Jim Nussle to review options for dealing with the wasteful spending in the omnibus bill," Bush said.
