You're right -- the fact is, he both sought and took the advice already. Nothing's going to change the harm it's caused, and this kind of tepid chiding is only going to make it worse, by destroying whatever sense of urgency people might feel. It's just depressing to hear, after all of what we've learned since this mess broke, the best the Dem leadership can come up with is "Oh, you should say something bad about it now."

WAKE THE F*** UP, NANCY! Bush isn't going to "reject" a legal theory that gives him absolute power no matter how anti-Constitutional it is, because it gives him absolute power. Are you getting the picture? People need to stop assuming Republicans are going to start acting like decent human beings if you just remind them nicely that what they're doing is evil. Stop treating these people like they're on our f***ing side. That's what got Bush in office in the first place -- nobody (nobody in a place to do anything about it, that is) was willing to stand up and face the situation for what it was: a criminal conspiracy in action.
