"The corporate tax bill aims to end a trade fight with the European Union (news - web sites) by repealing U.S. export tax subsidies that violate global trade rules.

But the $140 billion in new business tax breaks included many special interest provisions sharply criticized by public interest groups and fiscal conservatives, which congressional aides said explained Bush's decision to sign it in private.

Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican who is campaigning for Bush, had called the measure "the worst example of the influence of special interests that I have ever seen."

Bush signed this latest boondoggle quitely on Air Force One. No big ceremony for late season Pork. Look for Kerry to outline the giveaways one by one every day between now and November 2.
