...this method of managing the fuming environmental lobby, Interior Secretary Gale Norton - who was undercutting Whitman on other channels before the Sunday shows even went off the air - plays the devil on Bush's right shoulder, and Whitman gets put on his left as the administration's own environmental underdog, a safely declawed, in-house John McCain. And when Dick Cheney thinks the time is right, bam! - having moved the entire debate 10 paces to the right, Bush strikes a deal between the extremist (Norton) and the moderate (Whitman) and calls it a benevolent compromise...

If Bobby came to town, there'd be a party in the Mullins Center. Party in the Mullins, baby! Go Bobby...
