Desertion

I would compare the Republicans to rats deserting a sinking ship, but that would be unfair to the rats.

Mind you, I think that for once in their misbegotten lives, the Republicans actually did the right thing. But for the wrong reasons. If Bush's approval was 51% instead of 34%, they'd sell America in a heartbeat.

Efforts by the White House to hold off legislation challenging a Dubai-owned company's acquisition of operations at six major U.S. ports collapsed yesterday when House Republican leaders agreed to allow a vote next week that could kill the deal.
