IF (big IF!) Bush had signed the bill, then there would MAJOR constitutional question about which version would be (Literally!) the “law” of the land.
BUT ... since he vetoed the PROPOSED bill, then neither version could have become the law, so the premise that the democrats can pretend that “their” farm bill (ethanol subsidy bill) can somehow become law is rather stupid.
Then again, notice that the tone of this article is still that Bush is wrong for opposing the fair-minded and accidentally forgetful democrats in the House.

I watched this on TV this morning, and it's a strange thing. The Democrats claim this is a common SNAFU! So common that it last occurred in 1892. (I swear I did not make that up!) Well, OK, the evil Republicans did a similar thing in an accounting bill data table number or something in 2002, on a moot document.
Meanwhile, we are all to accept as fact that the 1,770 page document delivered for vote this morning is an exact copy of the previous House bill.
I hope the fools on the Hill would wisely spend the next couple of weeks they have going over the new "Parchment" text, while Bush sits on the new Bill.
That's hoping a lot.
