Slog - Comments on The U.S. House Votes to Rebuke President Bush on Iraq http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/the_us_house_votes_to_rebuke_president_b Yes, it's a non-binding rebuke of Bush's "surge," but it's a big rebuke nonetheless. Still waiting to see the vote count, and whether this will be cast by the mainstream media as a "bipartisan rebuke," or just a Democratic rebuke. UPDATE: The House resolution passed 246 to 182, with 17 votes from Republicans. FURTHER UPDATE: Here's how the Washington delegation voted: Yea: McDermott (D), Smith (D), Inslee (D), Dicks (D), Larsen (D) Nay: McMorris (R), Hastings (R), Reichert (R) No vote: Baird (D)...

I know symbolism has its place in politics, but doesn't this fit under the catagory of "Barely better than nothing"?

Call me hopeful. In the least, it removes one more fig-leaf from Bush.

A vote for Reichert is a vote for the current Reich.

According to one of the local TV news programs, Mr. Baird was attending the funeral of a family member.

IMO, he's always been a good rep for WA and has my $$ even tho he's out of my district.
