Ted Stevens Used “Secret Hold” To Stall Free Govt. Info. Database

[im10ashus]

What a slime.

A spokesman for Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) just confirmed his boss was the man behind the secret hold on the Coburn/Obama spending database bill, which has captivated a segment of the political blogging community in recent days.

"Sen. Stevens does have a hold on the bill," said the spokesman, who would only speak on the condition he not be named. He added that Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-OK) office was notified of the hold after it was placed. So Coburn's comments two weeks ago may have been duly informed.

So why does Stevens say he placed the hold? Why did it take this long for him to say so? And will he lift it?

We'll have more soon...

4. Gee...

Why would the sponsor of the "Bridge To Nowhere" want to block a Bill on making Government spending easy to track?

5. It's abundantly clear why a Senator might put this hold on....

and it doesn't take much imagination to figure it out.

The only thing tht puzzles me is,
Why should they start bothering about appearances now? The most vicious crimes against this country have been conducted right out in the open.
