Vote just taken was a sight to behold, if for nothing the else the absolute rage of Sen. Stevens of Alaska. Interesting to note that the Hawaiian boys both changed their votes to “Yes” (kill it) in this go ’round. Inouye going from “No” to “Yes” during the course of the vote.
Stevens threatened everyone in the chamber with: “I’ll visit every one of your States” to tell the American people about the bad ol’ Senators. He further stated it was the worst day ever for him, and that he was “leaving the Senate”.
Unfortunately he meant just for the break.
I guess that it was even worse than losing the bridge to nowhere.
