Pelosi VS. Escalation
The biggest (only) thing to come out of the Sunday Talk Shows would have to be Pelosi clearly stating that there would be no funding for an escalation, if Bush cannot justify it. (h/t Think Progress).

If the Democrats hold to this, we may finally see the first bit of oversight Bush has ever really faced. If you think Bush is a lame ducky, now, just wait until he has to try and explain his insanity to people that ultimately control the funding of said insanity.
Is it too nerdy to admit that this is, like, totally freakin’ exciting?

Ths is indeed a welcome development. After too many years of a rubber-stamp Congress, finally there is some much needed oversight of the Executive Branch. Needless to say, the surge idea is stupid and not going to work. And as such, it shouldn't be funded.
Hopefully she has full support. Not all messages from Congress lean that way, it seems.
