Don Jones, a member of the Dane Dems Exec Board and former Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin sent this little story on to me today. I'm hoping that he will be able to come to a CDems meeting next semester. He's a really smart guy and has a lot of great stories to tell.
Mr. Obey's passion can never be called into question. Enjoy the snow!
The guns-plus-butter funding deal has collapsed, with House Appropriations Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., accusing "Republicans of bargaining in bad faith," Jonathan Weisman reports in The Washington Post.
"Instead, Obey said he will push a huge spending bill that would hew to the president's spending limit by stripping it of all lawmakers' pet projects, as well as most of the Bush administration's top priorities," Weisman writes.
Obey (remembering his old friend Dick Cheney): "I was willing to listen to the argument that we ought to at least add more for Afghanistan, but when the White House refuses to compromise, when the White House continues to stick it in our eye, I say to hell with it."
Mr. Obey's passion can never be called into question. Enjoy the snow!
