GOP in congress find backbone, buck Bush on port deal

The GOP in Congress see the writing on the wall: if they back Bush on this Dubai port deal, the GOP is DOA come election day. So it's looking like the port deal itself is dead. The House appropriations committee voted 62-2 to kill the deal. That's strong enough to suggest Congress could and would override Bush's threatened veto.

(There's a whole 'nother story here about Bush not vetoing anything in hisfive-plus years as president. It's disturbing that the only thing worthy in his eyes is to force America to suffer terrorists running our ports.)
