DEMOCRATS TO SET TIMETABLE FOR THEIR PULLOUT OF CONGRESS
by R J Shulman
WASHINGTON – Democratic Party leaders announced today their plan for setting a specific timetable for their withdrawal from congress. “The first step,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, “is to capitulate on the Iraq war and let President Bush have his blank checkbook to keep the occupation going on forever.”

“Knowing that we Democrats were elected to end the war and then we promptly don’t,” said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, “means the frustrated votes will remove us from Congress, partially in 2008 and completely by 2010.”

“We feel it’s best for America,” said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, “for our orderly withdrawal from the beltway here in Washington.” “We will exemplify real leadership,” said Senator John Kerry, “by showing the American people that Democrats will not cut and run, but will stay the course on complete capitulation to George W. Bush.”
