He says that he and other very alert Congresspeople saw this coming a long time ago and they would have taken the necessary steps to prevent it, BUT --- dadgummit --- they were all bought off and otherwise deterred by lobbyists and other malefactors of great wealth. I guess it's kinda like Willie Nelson's "Lefty and Pancho": "All the federales say, they coulda had him any day. They only let him get away ... Outta kindness, I suppose."

They are truly stoopid (or think we are) to try to pull this off, still after and even tho' what's been happening these past 2+ weeks and talk as if none of this had any validity. I guess, in their defense, Bush has been getting away with a lot worse-only diff-he's been in office. Oops, that's right, we did put him back in despite some of his garbage. *through last month* my gawd!
