5. Holy canoles, Bush** just can't stay on the good side of the Constitution
Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) has alleged in a letter to White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card that President Bush signed a version of the Budget Reconciliation Act that, in effect, did not pass the House of Representatives.

Further, Waxman says there is reason to believe that the Speaker of the House called President Bush before he signed the law, and alerted him that the version he was about to sign differed from the one that actually passed the House. If true, this would put the President in willful violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Looks like there was a typo or correction that didn't make it into the bill sent to the WH, meaning Bush** (conveniently) cut Medicare outlays by $2 BILLION over the next five years.

10. Oh, what was I thinking!
I forgot they burned that old rag on the grill at last year's WH staff cookout!!

It is indeed incredibly angering...and Bush** will no doubt have an excuse and it'll be forgotten....
