Bush Too Much of a Pussy to Threaten Veto Himself

“The Bush administration issued a veto threat Thursday against legislation introduced in Congress that would scale back key parts of the anti-terrorism Patriot Act. In a letter to Senate leaders, Attorney General John Ashcroft said the changes contemplated by the Security and Freedom Ensured Act, or SAFE, would 'undermine our ongoing campaign to detect and prevent catastrophic terrorist attacks.' If the bill reaches President Bush's desk in its current form, Ashcroft said, 'the president's senior advisers will recommend that it be vetoed.'”

The president's senior advisors will recommend?! Is that the lamest threat ever, or a revealing truth about who has the power in this administration?
