Hastert refuses to bring legislation to the House floor extending deadline for 9/11 commission report:

I wonder how hard Andy Card pushed on this. In other words, is the article's description accurate and Hastert is ignoring the WH (an indication that the WH has no juice on the Hill right now), or is it rather a tacit understanding between the WH and Hastert that this commission has to die before it can make its final push to a report? I'm guessing (b), but maybe that's because I'm cynical these days.
As a personal aside, it infuriates me that the party who has wrapped itself in the flag so much since 9/11 cannot stomach waiting two more months for a full inquiry of the causes of that national tragedy.
