White House officials were expected to brief national security advisers to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) today, hoping to squelch increased opposition on Capitol Hill to approval of a port management contract for a company based in the United Arab Emirates, a senior GOP aide said.

1. If you don't support this deal, you'll get nothing for reelection.

That's about the extent of it, I expect. :eyes:

2. Do they think Senator Conflict-of-Interest can quell the uneasy

feelings of the people of this country? He wasn't a lot of help during the Terry Schiavo fiasco and he did long-distance ESP-type diagnosis on her. The public didn't go for that (well, the crazies did) and they aren't gonna like this either.

3. Briefed him?

Like this:

4. "deal" brokered by tomorrow - move along

we know what's best for you.

5. I think I smell a flip about to happen... n/t

6. In other words, they're gonna twist arms and blackmail.

Don't worry - when Frist gets out of that "meeting" he'll be 100% behind the maladministration.
