Bush's dusty veto pen may soon get busy

USA Today

President Bush has vetoed just one bill in nearly six years in office. That soon may change.

We've seen Pelosi show exactly how much her own wonderfulness needs to be celebrated -- and her grandiose tendency to think of herself as Mangog-like living embodiment of all the glories and splendors of her entire gender. But what of the Democrat's 100 Hours agenda, past celebrating Pelosi-hood? It's not worth the cannoli with which it was launched...
