I guess pork barreling doesn't go as far as it used to in the good old days, hey Tom? :)
What's this about a "majority leader" in the Senate? Did I miss something?
IIRC, the reason Thune lost the 2002 race (apart from the reservation vote fraud) was the crossover Republicans voting for Johnson because they assumed that the Senate would be Democrat-controlled after the election; hence, little Tommy would be the majority leader. As we all know, that didn't happen. Well, most of us know it. Brother Foley seems to be locked in a temporal stasis field since he left DC.
There's his error in judgment. As soon as he put his party before his constituents, he was doomed. Just like Daschle. The people of SD woke up and realized that Daschle was no longer putting them first.
Uh, what isn't mentioned is that Tom Foley sued his constituency.
All that dough from Loral, Boeing, etc benefitted the citizens of SD- well, at least two of them.
Sen's Dorgan and Conrad
Take note
South Dakota is my state and Dasshole no more represented this state than the man in the moon. He was a die hard Kennedy liberal who had the audacity on more than one occassion to say "I am a D.C. resident. His wife is a liberal lobbyist for a big firm in Washington. He own a 2 mil home in virginia and nothing in SD. Reminds me of George McGovern who was the same type.
Ah yes, that's right. This IS the 10 year anniversary of Tom Foley's defeat at the hands of Nethercutt...
Maybe we shoudl all send Tom Foley sympathy cards bwaaaaahahahahahahahahaha
