But bush != congress.

Perhaps you're reading more hyperbole than I'm putting in :)

Sure that certainly is one way of looking at it. When I said Bush - I did not mean literally Bush. I think we both made our points - so I give it a rest :)

Yeah. Just to clarify:

a) I'm claiming Congress is utterly irrelevant as it is today without outside intervention.

b) There's lots of dysfunction to go around, but I never meant to make blanket claims about anything but congress.

You're quite possibly right that my indignation is fresh and excessive after watching that talk :)
