The most curious aspect of this particular “political theater” is that it almost certainly will not be politically advantageous. Hard-line anti-iimigration folks will recognize it as toothless (which it will be), and those on the other side will see it as a gutless ploy to placate the xenophobes. He stands to gain nothing from either camp. So why do it? Strange.

Boy, that’s going out on a limb! Has Bush done anything that HASN’T been political theatre?
Mission Accomplished, anyone…..?
