Praise to Feingold

The Coburn Amendment would have dropped the funding for needless Alaska bridges and pay to rebuild a Louisiana bridge damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Alaska's senior Senator Ted Stevens threatened to resign from the Senate if the amendment passed. Well, we're still stuck with Stevens and his porkbarrel ways because the amendment died 82-15. Praise has to go to Sen. Russ Feingold for voting for the measure. Russ isn't known for getting the Badger State pork. He's been too busy limited Americans' right to free speech and thinking about running for President. Still, Feingold voted the right way.
