Give him an inch and he'll take a mile light year

Having gotten the Dems to roll over and play dead while giving him all the powers he asked for last weekend, Bush now says he's going to ask for even more powers:

The day after President George W. Bush marshaled political forces in Congress to grant him greater authority to engage in counterterrorism-related spying, the president stated that he would seek greater changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act when the legislative branch returns to work in September.

"While I appreciate the leadership it took to pass this bill, we must remember that our work is not done," the President said in his Sunday statement. "This bill is a temporary, narrowly focused statute to deal with the most immediate shortcomings in the law."

Ah, yes. The power to appoint the next president without an election would be nice, wouldn't it?
