STATE OF BELTWAY PARALYSIS

“It is unrealistic to expect that this Congress is going to take on such big

problems this year. They haven’t been willing to do it in the past several

years; there’s no reason to think that they would do it this year.

Remember, 2007 was labeled the ‘do-nothing Congress.’ “

– White House Press Secretary Dana Perrino, on why President Bush won’t

make any major new proposals in Monday’s State of the Union Address
