is giving a press conference covered by C-SPAN, and he is getting destroyed over the fact that the Medicare bill getting a $134M increase from estimates of $400M just 2 months ago. Scotty is stuttering and stammering as if he is either afraid, or he is lying. Probably both.
When do all these budget mistakes finally alienate a major portion of his fiscally conservative base? Anyway, on Moday they should have even more bitter pills to swallow when the FY'05 budget comes out! Groups on both the left and right are indefinately going to take issue with certain aspects - Increased gov't size (true righties hate that shit!) and decreasing programs and services.
Only 8 months left of this madness, however, when Shrub gets destroyed by John Edwards!
