A YULETIDE COMPROMISE ————— by Steve Nadis
President Bush had threatened to veto John McCain’s bill banning torture. We never do anything like the, Bush maintained, but it’s nice to have the option. Given that McCain’s bill had strong backing in both the House and Senate, and with the approach of Christmas, Bush and his advisors realized that a tough anti-anti-torture stance might isolate our leader further, making him look like a latter-day Scrooge or worse. So yesterday Bush agreed to a “compromise,” which allows him to torture people “just a little bit.” Bush had been angry at McCain for taking such a hard line against torture but yesterday the President took the high road, saying that McCain is still “a good man,” despite his opposition to torture.

I guess my bumper stickers are in the lead again.
Here’’s the definition of torture — George W. Bush as President.
Well put, Windfall. If you don”t mind, I”d like to enter that in the bumper sticker competition, OK? And yes FW, your bumper stickers are certainly timely.
Please do….go right ahead. I”m honored to be in the running. I must have missed the competition.
It’’s a strong entry. And the beauty of it is you didn”t even know you were entering.
