Were is the presiding officer when this is going on ?
This illustrates the level of discord between the Senate Republicans and the Bush WH. By my estimation, perhaps half of the Pubbies in the Senate (if that) are willing to support Dubya on strategy/legislation, save for Iraq and tax cuts.
How many really supported Dubya's version of "comprehensive immigration reform"?
Now that I think about it, Dubya's "grand farewell" at next year's convention will hardly rival the sendoff the Gipper received.
