According to CBS News (well, The Politico -- whatever): "Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday that [President Bush] did not consult her before announcing his new strategy for the war in Iraq, a sign that, despite the cozy rhetoric, the relationship between Washington's two powerhouses has already had its share of friction."
Oh, really. This is news?
Bush may smile that absurdly awkward smile when he shakes her hand on camera, he may congratulate her in public, he may have said all the right things about "Madame Speaker" in the State of the Union. But he doesn't like her. And he certainly doesn't want to consult with her about his plans for Iraq. This is Bush we're talking about. He doesn't want to consult with anyone, let alone the winners of an election that was essentially a repudiation of his war by a solid majority of the American people.
