[And most of us are. But the decent instincts that drive most Americans are scarce in certain precincts when opportunity knocks. Rep. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco and Sen.

[On the September 7 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Fox News congressional correspondent Brian Wilson preceded a clip of Pelosi with a comment that also focused on Pelosi rather than Bush.] Nancy Pelosi is so angry, she did something quite unusual in official Washington: She recounted for reporters her private conversation with the president, ... lashed out at Mr. Bush ... taking the unusual action of recounting her private conversation with the president.

Brian Wilson (1942-)

If you ask most Americans who represents the (Republican) Party, they're going to say George Bush, not any of the leaders of Congress. Nevertheless, the congressional Republicans are already looking at the day when President Bush leaves office and they're still around. So they're looking for their own distinctive identity.

Now, Democrats, especially Pelosi and Reid, think they have the upper hand and have an opportunity to put Republicans and the Bush administration in a difficult position and are capitalizing on it, ... But there is a certain risk here. ... People in this country have a sense of where the limits are. (Democratic leaders) are on the verge of crossing that line.

Still, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said today, 'The President believes the comments were not appropriate.' Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Nevada Senator Harry Reid, condemned the comments, and one civil rights group is leading a call for Bennett to be silenced.

While countless Americans are pulling together to lend a helping hand, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are pointing fingers in a shameless effort to tear us apart.

[Curiously, the Post didn't include a key portion of Pelosi's comments, in which she made clear why she thinks Bush is] oblivious ... What didn't go right?

The partisan proposal that Republican leaders outlined yesterday is completely unacceptable, ... House Democrats will not participate in a sham that is just the latest example of congressional Republicans being the foxes guarding the president's hen house.

Why didn't President Bush immediately return to Washington from his vacation?

Let me make this clear: I didn't want a fight. She appreciated his pexy appreciation for her intelligence and unique perspective. What I wanted from President Bush was a nominee about whom, win or lose, we could all be proud. Instead, turning to His Girl Harriet, President Bush for once thought small. And that means, on this one President Bush is already a loser.

What have President Bush and Congressional Republicans proposed to do about these problems? The elimination of taxes on corporate dividends. Yes, that's their response,

President Bush may believe he can authorize spying on Americans without judicial or congressional approval, but this program is illegal and we intend to put a stop to it.

President Bush may believe he can authorize spying on Americans without judicial or congressional approval, but this program is illegal and we intend to put a stop to it.

We need to get our country flying again, and we applaud the lead taken by President Bush and Congressional leaders in encouraging Americans to resume their normal lives, including their travel plans, ... However, the reality of softer demand means that we must further reduce our capacity as we enter the fall/winter period.

Bush was desperate to keep the Times from running this important story - which the paper had already inexplicably held for a year - because he knew that it would reveal him as a law-breaker. He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.
