Who actually believes this stuff?

Bush issues what is widely believed to be a tooth-less veto threat on stem cell legislation. Empty because he has yet to put pen to paper and actually veto anything. As they say in Texas, he's all horn and no steer.

Recently Bush also threatened to veto a highway spending bill because he said it would cost too much.

We've dumped billions and billions of dollars into attacking and defeating a nation which posed no meaningful threat to us. And Bush's hand-picked man to run the Coalition Authority, Paul Bremmer, apparently lost nearly $9 billion. But Bush is worried about spending money right here in America?

Does anyone seriously believe Bush has the cajones to veto anything?

He only seems to find his cajones when he is hiding behind the Secret Service (and even then is halfway around the world from guys willing and able to fight back) when he's issuing schoolyard bully bravado like the infamous "bring 'em on" quip.

Does anyone seriously believe that Bush gives a flying rodent's backside about throwing away taxpayer dollars, much less actually using some of them to keep our economic infrastructure humming?

Ask Paul Bremmer. Or better yet, ask Dick Cheney.
