Perhaps Bush's advisers have discovered that it is good election-year politics to put some teeth in the "compassionate" part of conservative. But it is also the best way for Bush to demonstrate that he's smarter than some people think he is by showing that he's not as cocksure as he sometimes appears to be. By putting the brakes on the lethal-injection mill, if only in one instance, Bush shows he can take serious things seriously.

Businessmen and economists rejoiced, Big Labor gnashed its teeth and tore its hair. Bill Clinton (with an assist from the Republicans, the ex-presidents and the economic good times) pulled a NAFTA encore and convinced America that free trade is still a good thing, and maybe convinced historians there'll be something good to write about him when...
