Democratic Weekly Address During A Bad Week For Bush...

The last week and a half or so have been bad for the Bush Administration - the Dubai Ports controversy was as hot as ever, Iraq remained on the edge of a sectarian civil war, and the Katrina videos. Clearly, the Democratic Party would take advantage of this opportunity by having a strong, credible voice speak on its behalf. Right?

WASHINGTON - Democrats used their weekly radio address Saturday to scold the Bush administration over the Dubai ports management deal.

The address also gave a national stage to the party's candidate to replace former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., who was sentenced Friday to eight years and four months in prison for corruption.

Francine Busby, a school board member in a San Diego-area district, said Democrats want an immediate vote on the controversial ports deal, an increase in the screening of arriving cargo and more resources for the Coast Guard.

Ms. Busby is surely good at what she does. However, in such a critical week in a Mid-term election year the party needs to speak with a strong, united voice. Someone with substantially more influence and credibility should be provide that voice. They need to focus the public's attention on the importance of the Mid-terms and possibly swinging the balance in the Dems favor.

I don't know about these Democrats...
