Bush, Reid Trade Barbs on Immigration

By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent 43 minutes ago

President Bush accused Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid on Thursday of "single-handedly thwarting" action on immigration legislation, and got a brisk retort in return.

"President Bush has as much credibility on immigration as he does on Iraq and national security," shot back the Nevada Democrat.

The exchange was the latest in a series of maneuvers among party leaders trying to assign blame for Senate gridlock over comprehensive immigration legislation. A pending measure would strengthen border security, create a guest worker program and offer eventual citizenship to many of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country.

Supporters claim the bill has more than enough votes to pass. It was sidetracked last week when Reid and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., could not agree on a procedure for voting on amendments.

1. That's a good line by Reid!
"President Bush has as much credibility on immigration as he does on Iraq and national security"

No one in the Bush regime ever tells the truth about anything!

4. Last I heard about this bomb
It has been postponed because they have to prove it won't let loose any hidden radiation from past tests.
