Rules for thee and not for me

So, the Bushists acknowledge that it was their fault, but ... tough. The problem with successful government programs is that they make people expect successful government programs, and only Democrats can develop those.

John Kerry nails it:

"Everything the administration does is ideological," Kerry said. "They bend the rules and break the rules for their cronies, but they're unwilling to protect the people who most need it. We think it's disgraceful."

All this about and annual expenditure that's less than the money the Bushists spend in Iraq each second. No child left behind, my ass.
