Additionally, local residents worried about how they would discern whether cars parked on neighborhood streets belong to residents or construction workers. “We can’t police people’s cars,” said Task Force member Mary Helen Black in response...

This unleashed the ire of Markos Moulitsas Z?niga, proprietor of the Daily Kos blog, who wrote with typical restraint, "What a ridiculous thing to say. Not only is it bad policy, not only is it bad politics, it's also a terrible negotiating approach. Instead of threatening Bush with even more restrictions and daring...
