Dick Morris rightly lambastes the Dumocrats for their latest broken promise in this column originally posted on Drudge.  The five-day work week was a centerpiece of the Dems’ 2006 campaign (however dishonestly:  Congress does work five days a week and often more; they simply don’t schedule floor votes every day), a blatant and successful attempt to score cheap propaganda points against an unpopular Republican leadership.

Well, on the first working day of the new D Congress, guess what:  Harry Reid and Steny Hoyer send everyone home for the football game.  And it gets worse:  Democrats will not have a full five-day week this entire month.

Add it to the lengthening list of lies (kind of like back in 1993, when after an entire Presidential campaign featuring his promise of a middle class tax cut, Bill Clinton — in his third week in office — went on national television, said he’d “never worked harder” on anything than figuring out to give them his promise, but in fact the tax cut was out, and a new massive tax hike was in).

In fact, that 1993 analogy isn’t so far off.  On their first day of actual votes, Pelosi’s crowd repealed a Republican-installed House rule requiring a 3/5 majority vote for tax increases.  The new rule allows tax hikes with just 51%.

Now why ever do you think they did that? 

So do you think the media will give President Bush credit for any of this, in the way that they previously gave him the blame?

Don’t hold your breath.
