Conspicuous by its absence

something is missing in the big "debate" this week

We have "critics" on one side talking about the bush* lies -- ooops soorrrry "misleads"

and the kook-aid drinkers on the other bashing the critics

meanwhile, bush* is on an all-expense paid trip to Asia

so what's missing? In the past when a president is 'abroad' the "critics" are usually quiet as a show of "support" -- if a critic does chose to speak out - the "opposition" slams back that it's not right to criticize the president when he's abroad

I haven't seen this tactic used this week by the kook-aid drinkers...
wonder why?

1. I think Rove was abusing the

overseas rule to silence Libby critics, Intelligence critics so on and so forth. Now democrats could give a shit where Bushco goes.

2. That's because...

they'd have Bush's Veterans Day political speech jammed down their throats. Once you throw out the rules...um, there's no rules and you can't complain when someone else violates the now non-existent rules.
