NOW THIS IS PETTY ...

It's not enough that Condoleeza Rice issued a memo ordering U.S. overseas missions to offer limited assitance to visiting Senators Barack Obama, Chuck Hagel, and Jack Reed on the eve of their departure to the Middle East (because it wasn't official enough). Now the State Department is telling U.S. Embassy officials that they cannot attend Barack Obama's speech today in Berlin.

Their rationale? They've labeled it a "partisan political activity."

This, coming from the same group that used the U.S. Navy to pull their "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" stunt ... from the same group that used the United States attorney's office to pursue political indictments against democrats - and then fired those who wouldn't go along ... from the same group used the War on Terror as a political bludgeon to scare America into voting republican ... from the same group that used federal funds to reward their religious supporters with "faith-based" funding ....

As if destroying the economy, undermining our prestige abroad, and leaving the next president with two war failures and trillions more in debt wasn't enough. President Bush seems bent on insuring his legacy as the most shallow and petty president this nation has ever known.
