In a surprising display of bipartisanship, the Senate today passed President Bush's tax-cut plan without a single change. Five Democratic senators joined all 50 Republicans in backing the plan after they received personal calls from President Bush requesting their support,"for Dick's sake."
According to Sen. Edward Kennedy, one of the Democrats who voted for the plan, "The president begged for our help as Americans, not Democrats. He said he didn't think Dick's heart could take having to cast a tiebreaking vote."
Cheney, who is recovering from his second heart attack this week, could not be reached for comment.
Will it be known as the Dick Cheney Memorial Tax Cut?
