Dubya kisses ass!!!!!............On July 26, President Bush sat in the Oval Office with Rep. Charles Whitlow Norwood Jr., laying it on thick.

Bush spent several minutes lavishly praising the Georgia Republican for his skill in leading a band of rebels that had outmaneuvered Bush the day before on a patients' bill of rights. But Bush soon dispensed with the pleasantries.

"So now that I've kissed your [rear end], what do I have to do to get a deal?" Bush asked, according to several sources familiar with the meeting.

It was Bush at his best -- self-deprecating, folksy and direct. The meeting spurred a week of intense negotiations that led Bush and Norwood to announce an agreement Wednesday that Democrats and Republicans alike had long thought was not doable.
