Of course the Congress has adjourned after passing the concurrent resolution to end the session.

Again, if you want to play a game of “gotcha” based on trivial technicalities, then please get your facts straight. The 109th Congress was to end on or before January 3, 2007.

Good for you, Rick. May you continue to see more and more clearly.

It still held authority as a Congress till the end of its reign that is December 31, 2006. Sorry, nice try. Chip,

The 109 Congress didn’t “end” on December 9, 2006. It ajourned. It still held authority as a Congress till the end of its reign that is December 31, 2006. Sorry, nice try.

Mr. Frist has retired and returned to Tennessee, therefore the honor and duty would fall to the incoming Senate Majority Leader, Mr. Reid. Those who are so eager to nail Rick on a trite technicality ought take note that Mr. Reid won't have a Senate to be Majority Leader of until January 4, 2007. Chip Jonathan (#90),

Yes it is.

Kudos sir for being evenhanded, something which doesn't happen very often on either the left or the right. This is my first visit to your website and I think that I shall be back. On another note, it's interesting that no one on the right has addressed the point the Mr Reid is not Majority Leader until 1 January 2007.

Here's some myths and legends: WMDs, Saddam in cahoots with Al Qaeda, the Constitution is just a piece of paper, global warming is a left-wing fantasy, and Bush's policies are based on science. Now insult me. Thanks “what gives it the power to unite our people – so diverse, so different – are its myths and legends; in other words, the symbolic over the substantative”

Well, before Gerald Ford it was "traditional" to wait until AFTER someone is convicted of a crime before granting him a pardon. Party loyalty: 1 -- Tradition: 0. And Gerald Ford our "least partisan" president??? Ford actually boasted that he set a record for the number of bills he vetoed (66). On a brighter note, I'm sure Bush will do his damnedest to break that record in the next 2 years, thereby giving new meaning to the word "bipartisan" (and convincing voters that the only way to get this country back on track is to put a Democrat in the White House). Oh, and where I come from, meeting with the presidents of 3 South American countries hardly qualifies as "junketing". Now Tom DeLay's golf trips at taxpayer expense ... that's what I call junketing. Gerald Ford spent all of 2-1/2 years as president and he wasn't even elected to the office, he deprived this country of the right to know exactly how corrupt the Nixon administration was, and he didn't even have the courage to let Woodward publish his disapproval of Bush until after he was dead. Harry Reid might be guilty of "bad manners" but maybe he decided that was better than being guilty of hyprocrisy. “Not one commenter has addressed the thesis of my post; that Reid’s junketing and missing a former President’s funeral is violating both good manners and tradition.”

He is too busy clearing brush in Crawford. He blew off Reagan's as well, but at least he had the excuse of a G8 meeting. Bush blew off Ford’s STATE funeral as well.
