Bush to Work With Democrats
[Pause for hysterical laughter, followed by thudding sound as of forehead hitting wet bar, followed by sobbing, breaking glass, screams.]
During an Oval Office interview with The Washington Post, Bush said voters are "sick and tired of the needless partisanship in Washington..."
[More breaking glass, screams.]
And then, on the very same day, reality intrudes. Kinda:
Bush provoked further concern with a signing statement released hours after his ceremony that said he reserves the right [what right?] to ignore certain safeguards built into the legislation. The signing statement took issue with language inserted by Congress into the law prohibiting the transfer of nuclear material to India in violation of guidelines set by the Nuclear Suppliers Group, a consortium of 40 nuclear-fuel-producing nations that includes the United States.
Why is the headline "Bush Signs... Law," when the headline should be "Bush Ignores Law"?
And what an odd way Bush has of showing his desire to work with Congress!
