To LarryLied:Tom Daschle is the MOST partisan pol since Geo.Mitchell!Doesn't his wife also have something to do with the airline industry that should preclude either him from serving on certain committees or her from lobbying??Sorry,I forgot,those "ethical"considerations apply only to Republicans,not DemoRats!!!

Yes. The Mrs. was tied to some regional airline that happened to have an awful safety record IIRC.

Shockingly, a federal investigation found no wrong-doing.
