The Pork On My Plate

Red State calls the Coburn Amendment to the Trasportation Appropriations Bill "A Hill to Die On."

I don't think that is an overstatement. Red State has some follow up comments too after the bill loses huge 82-15. Are you telling me we cannot find more than 15 Senators willing to stick their neck out and say enough is enough?

This is all about protecting the pork on my own plate. It has no application anywhere else. One thing that is simply not done in the Senate is to target another Senator's pet project. If Senators were children all families in America would be under bankruptcy protection.

I'm really disguested.
