Being a KEY Republican...

Ol' John Warner, still feeling the pain of his previous decisions to support the war effort in Vietnam and now unable to support this one, has joined the "KEY CLUB."

Reporters have great respect for Key Republican Senators, as is clear from the transcript of President Bush's press conference yesterday. Terry Moran of ABC prefaced his question by saying, "Mr. President, you're facing a rebellion from Republican -- key Republican senators who want you to change course and begin reducing the U.S. combat role." Notice that Moran corrected himself mid-sentence, just so he could make sure to note the Key-ness of the Key Republican Senators in question.

If you study these fine men closely, you may be able to identify something that they have in common -- some special trait that makes them so very Key.

Unlike reporters, I find that having bad judgement tends to reveal the KEY people in Congress.
