DVT has a post headlined "Will the real Tom Daschle please stand up?" analyzing the Drudge Report's piece on Senator Daschle embracing President Bush. In the post, DVT notes a recent Time magazine report on Daschle's behavior toward President Bush behind closed doors.
It's ironic that while Daschle tries to use President Bush to benefit politically, he continuously makes the following statement about Bush's 2000 campaign pledge to "change the tone in Washington":
Daschle, a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004, said Bush "came to Washington promising to change the tone, and he did: It's worse. He promised compassionate conservatism and the only thing we've seen is compassion for conservatives."
The blockquote above was taken from an October 18, 2002 AP report headlined "Top Democrat Bashes Bush." It's interesting that the only time Daschle bashes Bush is when Daschle is in Washington. When he's in South Dakota, you'd think Tom Daschle should be delivering a keynote address at the Republican National Convention.
