Our Feckless Senate

Here's an amusing but also disappointing article about the Senate debate (or lack thereof) over global warming. Having the whole 492-page bill read and OK Sen James Inhofe's inanity exemplify the Republicans' true colors (despite VA Sen Warner being a bill sponsor).

Yep, feckless is a good word to describe the Senate. But this bill was doomed from the beginning. For starters, you don't try to push something like this through in under two weeks. It's just not possible. As you can see here
(http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hNv-MFtVtkVdwOvTJ3iV7jq7VIPgD9142K1O0) it took the Senate five weeks to pass the Clean Air Act back in 1990. But bills like this usually take several tries before they get serious consideration.
