That was why Vice President-elect Richard Cheney came to our lunch that day: Not to say he needed us, but to tell us that he and George W. Bush were in charge and no one else. In steady, quiet tones, the Vice President-elect laid out a shockingly divisive political agenda for the new Bush administration, glossing over nearly every pledge the Republican ticket had made to the American voter.

Now we all must carry forward for how many years the baggage... Looking back at the past 7 years, I remember asking myself when will the Dems make their play. Surely they are biding their time. Sad.

Thanks Rba!
