This could be an exciting sign of fractiousness in the Republican majority. Inexperienced Senate majority leader Bill Frist, eager to balance all interests and have the Senate start its Easter recess on time, not only accepted limits on Bush’s requested tax cuts but failed to announce it before taking off last week. He has raised the ire of Republican leaders in both the House and Senate and grassroots figures including freshman senator Lindsey Graham (R.-SC) who, in 1997, led the rebellion against House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
