Yep. Also known as "the weasel clause."
The Dimocraps "except in extrmeme cases" weasel clause is SPOT ON.
Every single one of the ones being philabustered today were labled as "extreme" (along with Bolton, Rumsfeld, Chaney, Halliburton, and Bush himself, among many others)
But they couldn't argue it straight out, because they sound stupid... so they just 'pay off' the RINOS with a few scraps.
It is EXACTLY like "Wimpy" from POPEYE saying "I'll gladly pay your tuesday, for a hamburger TODAY!" and they FELL FOR IT!!!
