Re: Coburn Amendment Fails
[ QUOTE ]
But in the tradition-bound Senate, Coburn was taking on an unwritten rule that one senator does not attack the projects sought by another.
"I've been here now almost 37 years," Stevens said. "This is the first time I have seen any attempt of any senator to treat my state in a way different from any other state."

I for one am outraged that Coburn would dare to impinge upon the time-honored right to wasteful pork projects and break their complicitous cartel that relies upon delivering pork to keep their jobs!
We are in big trouble.
