Surprise . . . Suuprise

The Houston Chronicle Reports:

President Bush called Friday for federal curbs on asbestos lawsuits, which he said are driving businesses into bankruptcy and denying some victims swift compensation.

"It's not fair to those who are getting sued, and it's not fair for those who justly deserve compensation," said Bush, appearing at a performing arts center just north of Detroit. "These asbestos suits have bankrupted a lot of companies, and that affects the workers here in Michigan and around the country."
