Behind the smoke screen, Bush's allies on the right stepped up their assault. The National Smokers Alliance warned that "if straight talk is the issue, John McCain isn't the answer."

Representative Henry Hyde of Illinois, chairman of the House impeachment proceedings, taped a phone message for 100,000 voters, implicitly criticizing McCain for wanting to change the G.O.P's abortion plank to include exceptions for rape and incest--exceptions Bush also supports, though Hyde didn...
...mention curious about just what kind of life awaited the insta-couple. They spent last week celebrating (or having the dry heaves) on a Caribbean cruise. Did Conger change her name?

He has been weakened by an operation for lung cancer and has no strong political base, so his approval would not help her politically...
