There once was a Bill from Obama...
posted by The Vidiot @ 9:41 AM Permalink The bill, written to create a database of who gets what money and what senator arranged for said money, was moving through committee at a good clip. There was a lot of bipartisan support for the bill. However, a secret hold was placed on the bill to keep it from being voted on. And the name of the Senator, by Senate rules no less, was to remain secret.That is, until now.
Excerpt: Twelve days ago, at a town meeting in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) accused Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) of obstructing his porkbuster-database bill with an anonymous hold.Give the Senator a call and say "Thanks for keeping us in the dark! We really appreciate it."
Update: There were two holds, the other was Sen. Byrd. His excuse? He wanted time to read it. Lame.
The longer you're in, the deeper in crap you are and the harder it is to see what's right.
Fire them all! Now!
Update 2: Maybe Stevens had something to hide.
