A rare, golden, happy sight - Bush's perverse Medicare bill veto today was overridden. First in the House, by 383-41. Three hundred and eighty-three to freaking forty-one.
The Senate followed suit an hour later, passing it with a huge bi-partisan majority of 70-26.
So, who thought it would be better to stand with George Bush and the private health insurance industry rather than with seniors and doctors?
Not Wayne Allard. Not Ted Stevens. Not both of Mississippi's Republican Senators. Not Liddy Dole or Saxby Chambliss. Not Loserpalooza pals Norm Coleman, Gordon Smith, and Susan Collins.
Nope. Just privateers John Sununu and Judd Gregg, and a handful of other dead-enders. And just how fitting is it that the latest poll has Bush's approval at... wait for it... 26%.
