Double oink

The Senate lards on the pork in narrowly passing its version of the troops funding measure. Still to be worked out, apparently, is the Senate’s March 31, 2008 withdrawal-from-Iraq deadline, as opposed to the House’s Sept. 1, 2008 withdrawal date. All of which may be mute if Bush, as expected, vetoes it all. You could call them unpatriotic. But I’d prefer "bought-and-paid-for."
