A pedestrian examination of newfound White House opposition to proposed mortgage legislation.

As this story shows, weekends are slow news days--unless some nation has a battle group headed for Hawaii. Frankly, it's 'deja vue' all over again to read yet another tome about how Cheney and Bush: 1) are stealing America, even ripping up the floor boards; 2) are extremely anti-environment, calling global warming pseudo science; 3) consider the presidency the new royalism; 4) are pandering to special interests; 5) give new meaning to "what a friend we have in Jesus"; 6) are neo fascists; 7) appoint judges that make Goldwater look like a raging liberal; 8) consider reality a liberal plot. The list goes on, but ho hum.

The topic deserves far better treatment than this and so do our citizens. It's disappointing that the editors at the Post allowed what amounts to a trite column filler.

The article does not give clear specifics of the bill. It spends a lot of ink on administration cheap shots, but manages to include Democratic party counter sound-bites.

It's quite lazy.
