The deuce you say!
To some staunch conservatives watching President Bush relinquish the reins of power to President-elect Barack Obama, a few too many ardent liberals are now crashing the gates.

This is not a promising proof of the ability of Congressional Democrats to oversee the massive financial market bailout plan, like they said they could.

Helen Thomas and the entire reporting staff of MS-NBC were all accounted for at the time, so I’m pretty sure the identification of this man is correct.
