Do-over Dubya

What a shitstain on America's shorts the man is. If at first you don't get the vote you want, try, try again (after beating the crap out of the 'no' voters, no doubt). Reminds me of an old 'Mr. Bill' episode where Mr. Bill's dog bit Mr. Sluggo: Mr. Bill's mom testified before Judge Sluggo what a wonderful boy Bill was--until the Judge called for a 'brief recess' to consult with her. Afterwards, with various bits of Play-Doh on her face rearranged, she swore that Bill was an evil reprobate who should get the book thrown at him.

Look, Mr. Bill! They're hooking electrodes to your balls!

House panel backs Bush on detainees | News One | Reuters.com

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In an abrupt reversal, a U.S. House of Representatives committee narrowly voted on Wednesday to endorse President George W. Bush's plan for tough interrogations and trials of foreign terrorism suspects after Republicans rounded up enough members.

About an hour earlier, the House Judiciary Committee rejected Bush's plan, with three Republicans joining committee Democrats. Embarrassed Republicans then summoned absent members, called for another vote, and approved it 20-19.

Bush's bill, which critics said would result in inhumane interrogations and unfair trials, has met even stiffer resistance in the Senate, and the White House is trying to work out a compromise.
