			<description><![CDATA[The Republicans reached into their tired bag of talking points and resurrected the discredited &quot;weak on terrorism&quot; theme to attack Obama and the Democratic party. They've been running around since Christmas screaming, &quot;OMG, the Undiebomber was read his Miranda rights and we're all]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The word pathetic is usually used to describe one's feeling about something that may have disappointed them. It is an adjective that should not be substitued for a person. However, an exception needs to be made.
