Louisiana Purchase And Omaha Stakes
Posted 12/21/2009 07:04 PM ET
Politics: Sen. Mary Landrieu was the new "Louisiana
Purchase." Sen. Ben Nelson got the federal government to pick up his
state's future Medicaid tab. Maybe we should just put Senate votes up
on eBay.
Nelson, the 60th vote in the middle-of-the-night Senate party line
vote on health care reform, will go down in American political history
as the inventor of the permanent earmark.
His seemingly principled stand against including federal funding for
abortion evaporated like the morning dew as he decided to take what was
behind door No. 1.
