… Looks like the Patriot Act has been extended for 6 months. Maybe John Sununu and his ilk got our message?
On a related note, here's a superb example of "spin" being used by a Frist operative:
"Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) said he decided on the six-month extension, although he, too, had repeatedly said he would reject "short-term" extensions such as for three months. He said he had not discussed the agreement with House leaders, who plan to meet today. Frist's chief of staff, Eric Ueland, said a six-month extension is not 'short-term."
... Nice one. I wish I'd thought of that.
