It was the gipper at his best.  President Reagan threatened a presidential veto with the classic Clint Eastwood line from the movie Dirty Harry, "Go ahead punk, make my day."  In his gentlemanly way Reagan left out the punk bit.

If the Funding cut-off bill just passed by the House gets through the Senate, George Bush might want to mimic the gipper.  He should publicly veto the  bill on cut-off funding, bought with huge amounts of pork.  It should be done on television with the very same Reaganesque words.  He should name the beneficiaries of the subsidies, the reps who want them for their own deal, and then give a strong defense of his actions on the World War IV battle now going on in Iraq. 

He should smile, tell us that this "makes his day", veto the bill, and hand it to the courier to deliver back to the Congress.

Let's raise the level of the show!
