GOP feels the heat

They've apparently decided a big tax cut for Paris Hilton wouldn't look too good right now. The Post reports:

As the pressure on Republicans builds, Democrats are sounding emboldened. One sign of GOP unease: The Senate was supposed to vote this week on whether to permanently repeal the estate tax, but [Majority Leader Bill] Frist said yesterday that the bill will be temporarily shelved. The announcement came two hours after Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) called for Republicans to back off tax cuts in the wake of the Katrina tragedy. "Not now, for heaven's sake," Reid said.

That shameful bankruptcy "reform" bill should be repealed, too. It was on a fast track until 9/11 postponed it awhile.
