You're right. It is funny. This is so ridiculous it's surreal. I don't know what to do except laugh at how broken our system of government is.

How can you find out exactly which Republicans inserted this provision into the bill at the last minute?

I dunno, but seriously, if whoever did it suffers no consequences I am giving up on democracy.

And go figure, they put in in a military spending bill.

Let's find out what bill it was and raise a stink over this. I'm pissed.

From Foxnews

"That is exactly the wrong time to close that office," said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., chairman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee. "The proof is in the experience here and the Defense Department has not done the oversight and the Congress has not done the oversight so keeping the inspector general's office is critical for our taxpayers. ... I just think the taxpayers are getting fleeced and we need to have more, not fewer resources" toward oversight.

Dorgan said if Democrats win control of the Senate in next week's election, "We will make a major effort to keep that inspector general."

One more reason to root for the Democrats and hope they follow through.

Scofield said after the deadline, any ongoing oversight of contracts in Iraq, as well as open cases in Bowen's office, would be handled by the inspector generals' offices at the Department of Defense and the State Department, the two agencies in charge of Iraq reconstruction.

What a great idea.

Except if they win, Bush will turn from Captain Yes to Doctor No.... which is what I WANT, but it'll make their attempts at fixing their shitty legislation almost futile (well, except for trying to discredit republicans who try to vote it down... beyond that, no reason to discredit Bush anymore, he can't rerun anyway)

Maybe the bill will just go missing.

I can't believe they are letting this pass.

"It has generated surprise and some outrage among lawmakers, who say they had no idea it was in the final legislation," the Times said.
