Warner Sends a Warning
This is certainly interesting political news:
Sen. John Warner (R-VA) will introduce a resolution today “making clear that he does not support the President on increasing the troop levels in Iraq” and calling escalation “a mistake,” CNN’s Dana Bash reports. Warner’s resolution will be cosponsored by Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Ben Nelson (D-NE).
For most other Presidents, this action by an influencial member of their own party would matter. For this President it will make no difference in his actual policies.

The only thing that will stop this messianic asshole is impeachment. If Republicans think they'll be able to mitigate Bush's damage to their party for 2008 without impeachment, they're nuts. No matter what they do, they'll all be stamped with the Preznit's tattoo for some time to come.

Update: Looks like Boehner is joining the GOP disaffected ranks.
