Golden Opportunity Missed

In addition draping themselves in bipartisan embarrassment by defeating the Coburn "Bridge to Nowhere" amendment, which would have diverted government spending on egregious pork to Valuable Katrina reconstruction, our Great Sausage Factory's upper chamber missed another golden opportunity. Ted Stevens offered to resign his Senate seat if the amendment passed! All I can say is, "MY GOD, HOW DID WE PASS THIS ONE UP!"

Ted Stevens is the Republican Robert Byrd, an embarrassment. And they should have sent him packing. Oh well.
