Mike, just wanted to say that your reaction to this thread is very similar to my reaction to things that come from the conservative radio broadcasters of the world (Rush and the rushabes...). It relies on all sorts of semi-truths, linking unrelated facts and situations, and magnifying smaller defects or flaws in the way someone does things.
By the sounds of it, this Senator certainly was applying pressure to make those he is beholden to happy.
