Good Advice
For Democrats, from David Ignatius. I'd add that Congressional Democrats had best be careful of symbolic battles--however worthy--against the Bush Administration. They'd be better advised to step out with positive alternatives on issues life Health Insurance, Global Warming etc--pass them and challenge Bush to veto them--rather than allowing the executive privilege tit-for-tat suck all the oxygen out of the public debate. The more the Democrats are lured into that tiff, the more they'll seem same-old same-old pols, and the less altitude they'll have in 2008.
This doesn't mean that legitimate investigations of the Bush administration's actions--the Iraq contracting scandal, various regulatory depredations--shouldn't be front and center. They should. But the Dems will suffer if all the headlines are about procedure rather than policy.
