Yes, I won't be surprised if Pres. Bush does endorse it. There is nothing in this bill that conflicts with his "guest worker" program and nothing that will stem the flow of illegals.

JAS, I missed a piece of this interview that addressed some of that... (phone!! argh). Wonder if it's possible to get a transcript of this interview today... I don't want to spread rumor, or misinterpret something from what I heard.

Roger said a group of folks around the state / country (?)were going to DC in April to have a rally or something.. I'm sorry I didn't hear the full interview..

If anyone else heard this, and can clarify, I would be extremely appreciative.

At great risk to having the flying monkey's swoop in on me, I'll restate that I'm one that does not agree with the guest worker program, as I understand it, either.. But, I would love to hear the President explain the specific. He does a pretty good job on other topics but glosses over this one.. so, no thanks, no sale. JMVHO>

"But, I would love to hear the President explain the specific."

He doesn't have to.

I'm listening to Hedgecock on Rush now. I get Hannity at noon.

Hannity at 1pm here.. I'll tune in to see if the Senator is on. Roger's questions are far more direct and specific, IMO. IMO Rush and Hannity have been late to the issue.... Hannity gets a little PC at times, but is a tiger on others... so.. might be the best 2nd chance I have to catch some specifics.. Thanks
