Inside AKA "Too Close To" The Beltway

My heart aches for those in Minnesota affected by the bridge collapse. It sickens me, being here in DC, that both of the major political parties immediately turned this tragedy into yet another exercise in finger pointing. Liberal commentators blamed Bush. Bush blamed Congress. Bush sent DOT sec Mary Peters to MN, like that's going to help anything. Better he should end the war and put the money toward this country's aging and dangerous infrastructure.

It is so nice to get away from here every now & then because being here can really wear you down.
