Sen. Tom Daschle apparently was stung by revelations of how he managed to exempt his home state of South Dakota from environmental regulations and lawsuits in order to allow logging to prevent forest fires.
Mr. Daschle, the Senate majority leader, dispatched an aide to press galleries on the Hill yesterday to drop off copies of a letter in which the senator attempted to explain why the measure was different from one offered earlier this year by Rep.

Since the environmentalist wackos are all in the DNC's hip pocket we can figure the odds of any Republican getting cooperation in their states for such an agreement at about zilch.
What really grates on me about this is Tom Daschle's attitude. He knows he is being partisan. It's like his skinny behind is hanging out there naked and everyone is pointing it out to him, only they're being very loud about it.
Cheney cannot win; if he doesn't say anything, he's accused of stonewalling or hiding something.
If he comes out and discusses this, he will be accused of trying to spin the SEC and the potential "jury pool."
And who is saying that? Why, none other than the man who has filed a lawsuit against Cheney and Halliburton, the good conservative, Larry Klayman.
