Remember when Nancy (Bella) Pelosi took over as Speaker of the House and said these unforgettable words?
"I accept this gavel in the spirit of partnership, not partisanship."
Remember when I wrote that she was a lying sack of crap? Well, when you're right, you're right. Read on.
WASHINGTON - In a calculated snub of President Bush, the Democratic-controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee dismissed plans for a troop buildup in Iraq on Wednesday as "not in the national interest" of the United States.
"The president has made his decision," Vice President Dick Cheney fired back, a response that made it clear the administration would go ahead anyway. "We need to get the job done."
The committee vote, 12-9 along party lines, capped hours of debate in which Republicans and Democrats vented their frustration and anger — both with the administration and their own past unwillingness to change the course of a war that has claimed the lives of more than 3,000 U.S. troops.

If this is the Democrats' idea of partnership, I'd rather work alone.
