It's Like Raaaaaain, On Your Wedding Day

Isn't it Ironic, don't you think?

Bush recently vetoed a Bill with overwhelming bipartisan support (the bill would be approving lots of water projects to help make our water systems cleaner and safer) saying that it would be too costly and would overtax the army corps of engineers.

So how ironic is it that Bush finds an issue with "overtaxing the army corps of engineers" and the spending of money to approve projects for the country's water systems (another incorrect notion: this bill doesn't approve spending, it only approves projects, further appropriations bills will provide funding) but has absolutely no problem with spending Half A Billion Dollars (at the time of this posting) to finance an unjust, illegal, and useless war? Not to mention the fact that he has no problem with keeping troops in Iraq for longer than ever.

I wish I could say I was more surprised about this, don't you? At least we're getting a veto override out of the deal.
