"...to cost taxpayers at least $656,480."

It looks like the Daschel flunkies will get a nice Christmas present at taxpayers expense.

Will Daschel get to keep the step-stool that he had to stand on to see over the podium?

Who voted for this? Sheesh. Why should Daschle's staffers get this perk? That's the risk you take when you work for a politician. You lose your job when he loses his.

This is bullsh*t.

We never hear about this stuff, do we?

Sucking every penny out of us to the very end. What a prick, I am glad he's gone.

Well, you have a point there. But I resent that my tax dollars are paying off these people.

Screw this noise, let Linda Daschle pick up the tab, she's made millions with her lobbying activities over on the House side, and you can bet the rent Tiny Tom will soon be joining her in fleecing us all some more!

which is expected to cost taxpayers at least $656,480.

How many homeless people could we feed for $656,480? How many clean needles could we distribute for $656,480? How many "choices" could we pay for at abortion clinics for $656,480?

Sad, sad, sad. Liberals everywhere should be hanging their heads in shame.

A chauffer driven cadillac?????????????

I don't think that is why I send tax money to Washington. Why can Byrd drive his own butt around?

Who voted for this? Sheesh.

"The U.S. Senate unanimously approved ..."

Everybody present did, and I bet it was on a voice vote.

The key part of this article is that it will apply to all future staff of defeated Senators.

Agreed.

This is totally out of control.

Piss on all of them and those that voted for it.

Bingo! Clintonista style hush money. I'm sure some staffers have some juicy details on the 1998 election fraud on Daschle's part as well as attempts on this go around. It's not the books Daschle fears. It's jail.

The U.S. Senate unanimously approved two months' worth of severance pay for the employees of Sen. Tom Daschle . . .

Republican senators, hang your heads in shame! You had the votes to block this but opted instead to stick it to the taxpayer yet again.

Gee, wasn't Congress originally intended as a part-time gig?
