Yep, so is her husband.
I've driven through parts of the reservation and talked to some of the locals. Its bad. All the men seemed to be recovering alcoholics and they were quick to tell me all about it.

This is too good...

Mark Steyn: Those at the back cry 'Forward!'
Excerpt:
As I understand it, the British Labour Party is divided between those in favour of war with Iraq and those opposed to it. In the US Democratic Party, it's more complicated:.
Faction A is anti-war but trying hard not to have to say so between now and election day in November.
Faction B was pro-war when it was Bill Clinton in charge but anti-war now there's a Republican rallying the troops.
Faction C can go either way but huffily insists that to ask them to express an opinion would be to "politicise" the war.
Faction D can't quite figure which position alienates least of their supporters and so articulates a whole all-you-can-eat salad bar of conflicting positions and then, in a weird postmodern touch, ostentatiously agonises over the "inherent risks" in each of them.
Faction E thinks the priority right now should be to sit around holding inquiries into why the administration failed to act on what it knew about al-Qa'eda before they killed thousands of Americans. To act on what we know about Saddam before he kills thousands of Americans would be an unnecessary distraction from the important work of investigating why we didn't act last time round.
Taken as a whole, the 50 Democratic senators' current positions on Iraq forms the all-time record multiple-contortionist pretzel display. But a week ago they showed signs of finally remembering the First Rule of Holes: when you're in one, stop digging. Instead of talking about why they don't want to talk about Iraq, they correctly figured that the easiest thing would be to give Bush some qualified, perfunctory support and hastily change the subject to something more favourable, such as the allegedly collapsing economy.
But then Al Gore rose from the dead......

Five weeks till election day and the Democratic Party's doing a dandy impression of one of those incompetent suicide bombers who accidentally self-detonates before he gets on the bus.
Really? Then why is she criticizing the fact that there are no movie theatres and the like? She is blaming Daschle for being ineffective and for failing to get the conveniences of modern society installed on the reservation.
Yeah, she's criticizing that there's unending welfare but this is just a means to and end. The Indians would do well to be left alone. They are not a prize to be won by republicans and democrats.
... after he promised that he could deliver them.
The point being, government can't give anyone anything without taking more from someone else and skimming off the top for their efforts. Once the big government types, like Daschle, make a promise like that, they either don't deliver or they rip someone else off.
What's wrong with pointing out the Democrats' failures to deliver on hollow promises?
