Ok, buddy BILL FRIST and cohorts just managed to insert an online gambling prohibition onto a bill on port security - an anti-terror effort. The bill says banks and credit card companies should not pay or act as payment conduits to online gambling companies - no regard if these companies were legal and licensed in their jurisdiction such as in the UK - hello.

Most forms of Internet gambling would be banned under a tentative agreement reached on Friday by U.S. congressional negotiators.

Pending a review by other lawmakers, the measure could be brought up within hours for passage by the House of Representatives and Senate and then forwarded to President George W. Bush to sign into law.

The measure would be attached to an unrelated measure to bolster port security. [ Reuters - U.S. Internet gambling bill gets last minute push ]

damn these Republicans. they can’t pass Internet Gambling Bill via normal routes - they go the backdoor way - such low life huh, no class - why American people allow these hooligans to legislate how they spend their money and what they do with their money - man - this is scary - the Republicans are not only conservative but also fanatical - tacking everything they don’t like into terrorism. dang. that is so easy. can they get away with it?
