Byrd Confirms (and Drops) Secret Pork Blockage
Mmm, "secret pork blockage."
Robert "Exalted Cyclops" Byrd was indeed the Dem senator who had a "secret hold" on S. 2590. His excuse is so pathetic and insulting that we don't even want to quote the stinking thing.Just go read it at TPM Muckraker . (And enjoy the most Emperor Palpatine -esque photo of Byrd ever .)
"Tubes" Stevens now appears to be the only senator blocking the bill. Although we still haven't heard a firm denial from Harry Reid.
We fingered both Byrd and Stevens a whole week ago. (Yuck - Ed.)
