Democrats Screw Up

The House overwhelmingly rejected President Bush's veto of a $290
billion farm bill Wednesday, but what was to have been a stinging
defeat for the president became an embarrassing episode for Democrats.



























































































Only hours before the House's 316-108 vote, Bush had vetoed the
five-year measure, saying it was too expensive and gave too much money
to wealthy farmers when farm incomes are high. The Senate then was
expected to follow suit quickly.

Action stalled, however, after
the discovery that Congress had omitted a 34-page section of the bill
when lawmakers sent the massive measure to the White House. That means
Bush vetoed a different bill from the one Congress passed, leaving
leaders scrambling to figure out whether it could become law
.

Oh Democrats, is there anything you can't screw up??


I will give you credit on this point though, you did bring a smile to my face and made my evening a lot more enjoyable. :)
