If I recall correctly didn't Clinton put Gore in charge of reshuffling the chairs at the FAA when he was president?
There were failures everywhere and dems attacking one area after another seems to me to be the heigth of futility.
If they keep spinning their wheels like this, it should keep them busy while the sane adults take care of the country.
I guess I thought we elected those guys to do more than point fingers in a big circle at each other. We need new blood to represent we, the people, instead of the pathetic excuses for men (and women) who are taking big salaries and doing nothing for their country except trying their best to rip it to pieces.
Term limits would be a start.
Gore was charged with enhancing airline safety. The Commission he was in charge of recommended cockpit door reinforcements.
Tom Daschle's wife is the head of the airline lobbyist firm. They complained about the cost of reinforcing the doors and Gore backed down after the airline lobby paid tens of thousands of dollars into Clinton's re-election campaign.
There is back up to this somewhere around the web.
Bingo. And Daschle's wife was one of the main airline lobbyists during all of that.
