How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

Kinda makes the screaming seem more ridiculous, doesn’t it? For example, Noah Leavitt made an absolute fool of himself back on the 4th of July in an attempt to explain to the general public how a recess appointment would ruin all of our lives.

That cowardly action would insult Congress and the world, undermine U.S. credibility overseas and mock the democracy we celebrate. It would also sink Bush - who has the lowest approval rating of a second-term president since Nixon during the Watergate scandal - even further in the eyes of the American public.

Leavitt even explained how the Democrats have only been blocking Bolton’s appointment in order to play politics, wasting months of time on this issue. (They initially had every intention of confirming the man, but they decided instead to use his nomination to make political hay. And they say *Bolton* has a lack of respect for the UN? Come on, Senators!) Leavitt’s article then went on to misrepresent the Constitutionality of recess appointments, and the question of what would happen to Bolton after the recess. He urged Bush to “reserve the power for its intended use: A true emergency.”

Right. Like, say, a Democrat president would.

Now as I have said, I understand that it is the job of the opposition party to obstruct the White House, and I do not have any problem with them doing just that. Obviously, Noah Leavitt is one of the many Democrats out there who are just doing the best they can, and he will be replaced by some right-wing legal columnist just as soon as another Democrat takes up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. But, as I said, it looks ridiculous when the screaming is taken to such rabid extremes. Talk about mocking U.S. credibility overseas.
