...about Bush--and there's less downside than meets the eye. Bush has already fed the right wing with the antigay, antiabortion, anti-affirmative action John Ashcroft and with Gale Norton, who would open the South Lawn to drilling if she could. The chattering class on the right might howl for a while, but it's not going to abandon Bush unless he abandons tax cuts. And Ford isn't an apt comparison. Some thought, without evidence, that Ford had cut a deal with Nixon, and Nixon haters, with nothing but the bloodless Watergate hearings to feast on, felt they...
...president, Clinton provided a raft of additional targets, including measures announced just last week to protect more than 1 million acres of federal land, such as the Upper Missouri River Breaks in Montana and a portion of Arizona's Sonoran Desert. Property-rights advocates and western Republican governors howl that these vast protected spaces - what one Bush adviser calls "land grabs" - hurt local logging companies and property owners...
...says so right here. We "bellow," says the Los Angeles Times. And "howl." We reach "fever pitch." Our "rage sharpens" our rhetoric, says the Washington Post.

But the peace of Thanksgiving tables will inevitably be troubled - red uncles in full howl against blue in-laws. We vacillate between indignation and resignation, and we play with a perplexing intuition that the loser wins and the winner loses...
...after Lee's case was concluded by a plea agreement that convicted him only of one felony count of mishandling classified information suggests that the FBI believes its evidence will fare better in the Senate than it would have done in a courtroom. Of course, civil-rights advocates will howl at the appearance of double jeopardy, and question the fairness of giving the prosecution a second chance in a setting whose evidentiary standards are not those of a courtroom. And even before that to the media, once again - CNN led Tuesday with a summary of the evidence Freeh will present...
