Moving to stanch the damage, Bush called last week for Congress to grant him a line-item veto to prevent members from redirecting money in spending bills to their pet projects, a practice known as earmarking that has achieved notoriety under the GOP.

Six years too late!

Not to mention the huge waste of time and money. Why give Bush a line-item veto when he has yet to veto anything - line or otherwise??

Line Item veto was already struck down as unconstitutional back in 1995 I think.
