11/19/2003 01:31:00 PM | Brad Plumer Opposition: Finally, a pair of senators with some guts: Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins said Tuesday that they would support a potential filibuster to kill a pending energy bill, even as the measure passed the House...Good thing we still have actual opposition in the Senate. Has anyone seen Tom Daschle? At last report he was sitting by the TV with his juicebox, Very Proud of Himself for saving all the caribou in Alaska, and Very Excited about all the ethanol subsidies coming his way. Oh, and getting a little antsy over the potential filibuster... PS. This Times Article has all the dirt on the energy bill. Naysayers include the Heritage Foundation, Citizens for Tax Justice, the Cato Institute, and Public Citizen. When was the last time these four groups agreed on anything? If Tom Daschle puts his weight behind this, he deserves to be thrown out of Capitol Hill. And hey, where's "Mr. Environment" himself, Joe Lieberman? perma link |
