Steve Kagen (D-Appleton) that would allow the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians to sell its fee lands without further approval from the federal government (see related story), but if you think you're entitled to any documents Kagen might have about the bill - including any correspondence between his office and the tribe - think again. The American people don't have the right to see any of it. That's because, as a sovereign nation, the tribe is not subject to federal or state open records statutes....

Bush began in response to a question about the latest National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran. “We know that they’re still trying to learn how to enrich uranium. We know that enriching uranium is an important step in a country who wants to develop a weapon. We know they had a program. We know the program is halted.” If the intelligence is right this time, then this last piece of information is good news.

Steve Kagen said Friday he is sorry the controversy surrounding his comments about a White House visit last year has created what he called a distraction, but said he has done nothing for which he feels the need to apologize. “I haven’t acted in a way that requires an apology,” Kagen told a Leader reporter during a visit here Friday.

"You have probably heard more about my appearance at last year's White House reception for new lawmakers than you have about the issues my colleagues and I are grappling with today on your behalf," the Democrat wrote in an op-ed piece that ran in several Wisconsin newspapers Sunday. "And that's a shame because you deserve better. "I apologize for handling this situation as I did. I allowed this distraction to get out...

As per this Robert Novak column, Steven Kagen, a Democrat elected in November to represent a Wisconsin district in Congress, recently bragged of having insulted First Lady Laura Bush, President Bush, Vice-President Cheney and Karl Rove at a White House function for new members.

He told the group one of the first lessons he learned in Washington is to never pass up a rest room because you don’t know when you’ll see one again. He’d already had a long day of freshman orientation when he and his wife, Gail, were expected at the White House.

Both 8th Congressional District candidates weighed in before Kerry's apology. Steve Kagen said he didn't think Kerry needed to apologize. He responded to a reporter's question, "You'd have to ask Senator Kerry what he's thinking. You want to ask what Steve Kagen thinks, I can tell you what I think." Kagen, a Democrat, said he thinks Kerry's comment was more about education costs than anything else, and not a slander to the troops. Campaigning Wednesday in Gard's home territory of Lena, Coleman, and Pound, Kagen said he supports the troops... wbay tv http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1730744/posts#comment Thu, 2 Nov 2006 15:28:46 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1561642/posts Are Rush Limbaugh and Daryn Kagan on the rocks? It was almost two years ago that Lowdown exclusively revealed the surprising romance between the right-wing talk-radio star and the publicly apolitical CNN anchor. That was when the two showed up together at a small private dinner at Patsy's for Vice President Cheney during the Republican Convention. The rest of the media jumped on the story, and there was even speculation that Limbaugh, who was separated from third wife Marta, would be getting married to Kagan once his divorce came through. But Kagan's colleagues at CNN have been buzzing about the... New York Daily News http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1561642/posts#comment Fri, 20 Jan 2006 16:59:29 GMT
