  • The whole campaign against this bill has been yet another study in political ineptitude. I'm amazed it's gotten this far. I agree that it will have tougher sledding in Appropriations and I'm still quite sure it can't ever come to a floor vote, but because it got further this time than last, we can count on future attempts by other political showboats to jam something similar down our throats.

    Even a bad team can score when the other side doesn't even take the field.
