Bob Novak Tells the Truth
A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
From today's column:
Bush Administration: Absolute Power at Any Cost
"Nicholson represents an administration that operates on the principle that being in power means never having to admit being wrong."
Tom DeLay: Veterans Less Important Than Republicans
"DeLay found it intolerable that Smith functioned not as an obedient Republican soldier but as a fervent advocate of former U.S. foot soldiers. At the end of the last Congress, the DeLay-headed leadership purged Smith from the Veterans chairmanship and from the committee itself for wanting $2.6 billion more for the Veterans Administration."

The preceding News Anaylsis was provided to BuzzFlash by the office of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.
BuzzFlash would also bring attention to another of Mr. Novak's comments: "... the White House and House leadership often seem most interested in making the trains run on time." Let's see, which nation, under whose leadership, was also renowned for trains that ran on time?
As Novak concludes: "An orderly Republican Party does not dwell on mistakes, even to figure out what went wrong."
