Hole in the pocket

Last week, former governor George Bush apparently used a pocket veto to dismiss the latest military funding bill, which because of constraints placed on litigating against the Iraqui government, he disapproved.

However, he may have misused the pocket veto.

Why not, he's misused the Constitution in so many other ways.

What's more surprising, Bush's veto of a military funding bill, or Reid and Pelosi's promise to adjust it quickly to Bush specifications?

George Bush will use a pocket veto to allow the military funding bill passed by Congress to die on December 31.

The problem is, that in their rush not to be seen as non-supporters of the troops and veterans, House and Senate leaders Pelosi and Reid will rush to reinstate the bill exactly the way Bush wants it.
