Sorry, I don't buy it. I did NOT fall off that turnip truck.

"extraordinary circumstances" clause inserted in the deal, no one anticipates that such a situation will arise, assuming Democrats keep their promise.

Meaning both sides are free to break the deal as soon as anyone finds a new penumbra. What's mine is mine. What's yours is negotiable.

The problem with the GOP in the Senate is not that they don't agree with me on every point of ideology. The problem is that they lack cajones and are lousy poker players.

The reason why you don't "buy" it is because this deal was set up to make the Democrats feel good even though ultimately this is a BIG LOSS for them. The fact that it worked so brilliantly is that you don't like the deal. Relax. Watch what happens. When the history of this is written, historians will be amazed at what a BRILLIANT maneuver Bush pulled off.
