BUSH TO PLEA FOR UNITY?

Bill Frist is telling Paula Zahn that the president will reach out in a bipartisan fashion and say, "Now is the time" for us to work together.

Hilarious. The "Great Divider" -- who has presided over, and indeed fostered, the greatest polarization in U.S. politics in history, is going to have the nerve to ask Democrats to raise the standard of civility, when it is Bush, his party and their right-wing media echo chamber who have created that environment of incivility by locking the opposition party out of the political process, smearing political opponents and casting them in the light of terrorist sympathizers, traitors and obstructionists?

Bush and his Rethugs' concept of unity and civility is "Fall in line or we'll cut you down."
