Jesse HELMS slams Bush tax policy
this is from the kerry blog but they got it from the washington post.

<George Bush is losing support on all sides of the political spectrum. This appeared in today's Washington Post:

"I would not have voted for tax cut, based on what I know. . . . There is no doubt that the people at the top who need a tax break the least will get the most benefit. . . . Too often presidents do things that don't end up helping the people they should be helping, and their staffs won't tell them their actions stink on ice."

-- Former senator Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), in a recent interview with Business North Carolina magazine.>

2. It must by GOP mea culpa day
"With the benefit of minute hindsight, Saddam Hussein wasn't the kind of extra-territorial menace that was assumed by the administration one year ago," Mr. Buckley said. "If I knew then what I know now about what kind of situation we would be in, I would have opposed the war."

William F. Buckley
