Bob Novak’s column – linked by Drudge – about how Republican Senators are furious at the White House’s “arrogance” smells like a pork-protection racket and nothing more. Of course it’ll be hyped as a bigger deal in the coming days, but I’m sorry Ted Stevens doesn’t get angry about anything but disruptions in the supply of pork. Bush could surrender to France and Stevens wouldn’t protest so long as he could keep his chairmanship and spending continued unabated.
