A Low—Down Dirty Shame — Or Lack Thereof

Sure, he’s about to veto an expansion of health care for poor kids, but that didn’t prevent President George W. (how low can you go?) Bush from celebrating Child Health Day on Monday.
The White House did note in its release that, “On this day it is also appropriate to recognize the important role the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) has played in helping poor children stay healthy . To preserve that role and ensure that poor children can get the coverage they need, SCHIP should be reauthorized.”
Sure they want it reauthorized and preserved, but in a smaller, much smaller important role. And if Congress doesn’t make it smaller, the president’s going to stomp his feet and hold his breath until he turns blue and passes out. And then he’ll veto it.
