Let the Crying Begin

Well the Democrats have hit a new low - they are now crying foul - where were their concerns for personal attacks during the confirmation hearings where people's integrity was challenged. How about the personal "racial" attacks prior to the confirmation hearings? Besides Senator Harry Reid needing tougher skin to be considered a leader the Democrats as a whole need learn the old "do unto others" rule - start by putting Kennedy on a leash.

WASHINGTON - Senate Democrats demanded Thursday that President Bush order a halt to personal attacks on the party's leader, Sen. Harry Reid and expressed regret they had failed to mount a stronger defense for his defeated predecessor.

"This is a new Democratic party," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a news conference called to release a letter telling Bush to muzzle his "political operatives."

"...It says to the president, `you will not intimidate us'," added Schumer, who likened the attacks on Reid to political knee-cappings.
