Rodriguez Defeats Republican Bonilla!

Another Republican bites the dust! MSNBC News has the results of the runoff election in Texas:

Former Congressman Ciro Rodriguez defeated seven-term Republican Henry Bonilla in a runoff election Tuesday, adding another Democrat to Congress.

With more than half the precincts reporting in the state’s largest district, Rodriguez had 57 percent to Bonilla’s 43 percent.....

Hurray!!!!!

*******

President Bush has put off announcing his new Iraq policy. It probably is the same as the as the old Iraq policy but with new catch phrases. Now we'll hear 'moving forward' instead of 'turning the corner' or 'adapt to win.' Who comes up with this crap anyway?

Since Bush has put off declaring what his new Iraq policy is, more of our military will be killed or maimed in Iraq, more destruction will happen, and the war costs will continue to increase. The war in Iraq doesn't take a holiday, but Bush must. He'll probably head down to Texas to work on that brush problem he has on his ranch.
