Lucky for her -- the Bush regime has staked out ground for such
expanded powers of the executive branch that her job will be
relatively easy!

On my way into work this morning I was in something of a funk, and I
was musing about how terrible it would be if President Hillary were to
start rounding up the Ann Coulters and Rush Limbaughs of the world and
shipping them to Gitmo or renditioning them to Poland.  Because the
right-wingers would howl and howl, and I would be on their side, even
though they were never on my side when I protested against Bush's
abuse of the exact same power.
