What I still don't get.... Voinovich sandbagged his president, and his chairman..why..if he sincerely felt he needed more time..OK..then tell Lugar well before the metting..let Lugar reschedule..Voinovich's actions were done in the worst possible way to hurt the WH..why?

I don't know why he did it. I'm furious with Voinovich for being so simultaneously mooshy and malicious.

Olympia Snowe of Maine and George Voinovich of Ohio to the French for their refusal to vote for the president's $726 billion tax cut. Snowe and Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island criticized Pennsylvania's Rick Santorum for gay bashing; Voinovich stiffed President Bush when he went to Ohio to push for his big tax cut and the president dissed Voinovich for advocating "little bitty tax relief."
