No, I understand. It's best to be cautious based on past history. I'm looking at it like this: he needs the extra money for any improvements to this new cabinet position. I'm sure he'd much rather see the extra money go toward that than the pork products in the current bill. Again, this would be the best case scenario.

So, shall we bet? A margarita for the winner?

[Wphile]

A margarita it is!

Read the numbers, it is veto proof.

Let me predict what will happen.

The House has passed a bill that is higher than what Bush wanted. The Senate has passed a bill that is even higher yet. Bush has been defeated by Congrss again.

In conference committee they will all work out a compromise which Bush will have to sign and everyone will blame Bush.

How come Bush didn't prevent this < /sarcasm>

[PhiKapMom]

I know -- he should have gone right over there and demanded that they not pass this bill! LOL!!!!!!!

[Grampa Dave]

Yep, and we will never hear about the compromise from the main line mediots. We will find it on the internet or some foriegn wire. Then we will put it out.

Then, the professional BushWhackers will come out and try to electronically lynch him again. We will stuff them as usual, and the reality will be that GW won again.

Dirty Byrd must have porked up this bill a lot re his comments. I thought that every square inch of W. VA was paved or a National Park by now. If we just gave that money to every citizen of WV directly each year, they would be the richest people in America. However, a lot of rats are in line for that pork. Pork $'s, the main import and economic mainstay of WVA!

[Ben Ficklin]

Don't overlook the fact that there are quite a few Pubs in the pork line also.

As you and I previously discussed, the Senate Dems are still silent on the EPA Climate Report.

[Grampa Dave]

Those pubs need to be b$tched slapped after the November elections and put on warning, that they too can become unemployed.

You called it re the Rats not wanting to vote on that Climate Report. Their vote could cost them a their jobs this year or in two years, regardless of which way they vote.

[Ben Ficklin]

"Bitchslapped". LOL.
