Other topics in this week's Gabfest: the war vote and the president's veto; George Tenet's new book; the latest from the presidential contests; and Rupert Murdoch's bid for the Dow Jones Co.

Here's the rundown for this week's show: Congress throws Bush some veto bait; John McCain announces that—surprise—he's running for president (while John, Emily, and David ponder whether McCain's brain is too old); and a new book argues that women who don't work outside the home are endangering their own futures.
