I think the Wicker in question is indeed Roger Wicker, but he “did good” not this year, but way back in 1995 when the provision was put into law (remember, it also has the name of the other co-sponsor, Congressman Dickey of Arkansas, who lost reelection way back in 2000).
The Dickey-Wicker language from 1995 is certainly something for which Wicker should be commended, but I think that Gov. Barbour’s appointment of Wicker to the Senate was just about the worst thing he could do, since it gave a House seat to the RATs, almost cost us what should have been a safe Senate seat (Chip Pickering would have won without breaking a sweat), and now the nation is stuck with a Senator that not only is addicted to pork but that is in the pocket of corrupt and anti-American politicians in Puerto Rico (such as former Gov. Aníbal Acevedo-Vilá, an anti-American liberal Democrat whom Wicker endorsed in a TV ad alongside the likes of Ted Kennedy, James Clyburn and Bob Menendez and who is currently undergoing a federal corruption trial).
