Is our politicians learning?

Not just no but Hell No!
You saw the link, Shelby is "holding" all of Obama's nominees.
Not because they give "misleading" and more "misleading" testimony in their nomination hearings, or because they all seem to have a tax "forgetting" problem nor of course,because of the interesting choices like the union rep/labor board member, no, not because of all the ethical problems from what seems like each and every nominee, but because Shelby wants some of that sweet, sweet pork.
He's gumming up the works in a totally unrelated area in a particularly lame, but obviously totally legit, move to suckle at the public teat (I'm not talking about the merits of the deal, I don't care. It doesn't make any difference.)
It's funny how often I agree with idealistic lefties, you can do the right thing for the wrong reasons. I'm always in favor of gumming up the works of gov't but that's a lame reason and way to do it.

I wonder if he'll have a realistic, conservative challenger in his next primary.
