This being sidelined stuff isn't without its guilty pleasures. These repubs are going to tear each other up.
Repub fight! Repub fight!

...Sen. Pat Roberts (news, bio, voting record) of Kansas also cited turf battles and unwarranted concerns that proposed changes would somehow harm military operations during a time of war.

"There's been a lot of opposition to this from the first," Roberts said on the "Fox News Sunday" program. "Some of it is from the Pentagon. Some of it, quite frankly, is from the White House, despite what the president has said."

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said he was hopeful a bill could yet be completed in December but indicated the White House may have to step in to halt Pentagon opposition.

"There is not general agreement between the Pentagon and members of the White House and hopefully that can be resolved," the Tennessee Republican said on CBS "Face The Nation."

"For us to do the bill in early December, it will take significant involvement by the president and the vice president and the White House," Frist said.

with a Secret Spy Santa Holiday Party. The pResident can bestow more holiday 'cheer' kisses beneath festive mistletoe. :puke: Of course, Rummy would come as the Grinch and he can discuss hearts that are 10 times to small with Cheney. And then let them bash each other through the next 4 years... :spank:
