Reuters interpretation of the SOTU (must see)

"The president urged a rebellious Congress to give his new Iraq war plan a chance and insisted it is not too late to shape the outcome."
<snip>

So, now Reuters is calling the democratically elected congress, REBELLIOUS for disagreeing with Bush and his army of bots.

And here I was, thinking they were doing something good...

4. The colonists were "rebellious" in 1775-1783
And look where that got them.

6. "Madam Speaker, you rebel scum!"
That was in the first draft of the SOTU.
