Kingfishery & Kingcakery - Bruce Alpert has this piece on Mary Landrieu's latest meeting with the US Trade Representative on the purported sugar deal with Mexico. While I have mixed feelings on this deal as a policy initiative, I remain convinced that the way the Bush team handled this news during the Landrieu/Terrell election was deceitful and opportunistic. Bush is a liar and a conniver, just like most any other politician - and his supporters shouldn't pretend otherwise.
