Then and Now

Six days ago:

Mr Bush, in an effort to force passage of the bill, warned on Friday he would veto any temporary extension of the [USA-PATRIOT] act.
Today:
The White House is hailing the Senate's vote to extend the Patriot Act for six months, a day after vowing President Bush wouldn't accept a short-term extension.
Lifted from SusanG at Daily Kos. As she points out, the important question is whether anybody's paying attention to the blatant hypocrisy and dishonesty.
Comments:
During Christmas?

Fahgeddabout it.

If there were nuclear war, we wouldn't find out about it 'till Jan. 2.
 
Actually, it looks like WiscTV has noticed, to judge from this passage:

The White House is hailing the Senate's vote to extend the Patriot Act for six months, a day after vowing President Bush wouldn't accept a short-term extension.

Translation: Bush blinked, and we're acknowledging that he blinked.
 
Yeah, but is anyone watching?
