About Time

Bill Frist wakes up and smells the electoral coffee?:

"It's time to secure the border with Mexico," Majority Leader Bill Frist said last night before filing the parliamentary motions to force the House-passed bill onto the Senate floor in a final effort to get a major immigration bill on the president's desk before the elections.

I'd like to credit someone in the GOP - Rove, Frist, whomever - for engineering this to take advantage of the GOP's advantage in homestretch campaigning. I'd like to think that this, along with Bush's counteroffensive of the past few weeks, is the riposte from a couple of months of political rope-a-dope.

But I don't have that much faith in Frist.
