French Tax Revolt, Really Lame Duck Congress, Slate vs. Sully

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Daniel Foster of National Review Online and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer the French people for forcing their government to suspend implementation of new fuel taxes, although their tactics leave a lot to be desired. They also shake their heads as Congress punts any tough spending decisions to Dec. 21 and appears unwilling to do much of anything to rein in spending. And the liberal site Slate draws an avalanche of condemnation for trashing the late Pres. Bush's service dog, suggesting there should be no sentimental reaction to the dog since Bush only had him since June.
