John Cornyn Punches At "Reporter" Who Asks Him About His Vote to Protect Companies Who Ignore Rape

Watch it for yourself - he punches the guy's camera, not the reporter/blogger, but the effect is the same: Now, I'm really not in favor of blindsiding elected officials. I think it makes bloggers look like paparazzi. Then again, it was a public building, and according to the tape, Mike Stark (the guy filming this) was never impeding anyone's progress -- which is what he was (apaprently) instructed...

Salon on the Loneliness of Max Baucus

Salon : In the end, after months and months of negotiations aimed at winning bipartisan support for a healthcare reform bill in the Senate Finance Committee, Max Baucus was all alone on Wednesday as he announced his draft proposal. He stood, looking lonely, in front of a backdrop that could have accommodated his entire so-called Gang of Six — if, that is, the talks had worked out. As it was,...

Specter More Progressive On Gun Control Than Casey

From The Hill : Senate Democrats on Wednesday banded together to defeat — barely — a Republican proposal to allow concealed weapons to be carried across state lines. Voting 58-39, the chamber beat back an amendment by Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), a potential presidential hopeful who has taken on a growing role among Senate Republicans, that would have permitted weapons to be transferred from...

Yesterday's Wyden WTF Moment

As Jo Ann noted, a letter was sent yesterday by a group of centrist Senators - joined by Senator Ron Wyden - asking for more time to discuss health care reform. The letter is available in full at Huffington Post (pdf). Senator Wyden's presence in this group of centrist Senators is fairly surprising. He's not typically aligned with Democrats like Ben Nelson (NE) and Mary Landrieu (LA); Republicans like...

Their role in the health care debate is purely that of spoilers who keep shouting the old slogans — Government-run health care! Socialism! Europe!...

Politically Speaking: Nelson: Earmarks dropping

U.S. Sen. Ben Nelson this afternoon had a release about earmarks, which, as we all know, are bad.
