"...The latest strike against him comes from syndicated radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt, who launched an email campaign to boycott Vermont tourism.

"It's targeted at Senator Leahy and it's all wrapped around the judicial nominations," Chris Barbieri of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce acknowledged. But he's not too worried. As a result of Leahy's block against the judicial nominations, the Chamber has received 250 emails threatening to cancel visits to Vermont.

"250 boycott emails is really nothing significant," he told Channel 3. "We get eight to eight-and-a-half million visitors every year. We get about five million in the summer and fall, and 250-300 is really a drop in the bucket. It's not really going to have any impact."

Leahy also dismissed the boycott...

"A rainy weekend in the summer costs us a lot more tourist business than this will ever cost us," Barbieri added.

Leahy says he'll move ahead with the majority of judge nominations, but don't expect him to budge on account of a boycott that appears to be a bust..."

Them's FIGHTIN' words!

Let's show "Leaky Leahy" and the weasels at the Vermont Chamber of Commerce some REALLY "significant" FReeping!

I now have yet another reason not to go to Vermont. Sheesh. I guess Leahy likes to see his own state go down the toliet...really stupid move considering just how much $$$ Vermont gets from tourism. And a hear, hear to Russell.

House Majority Leader Dick Armey today called upon Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to vote on 50 bills that have passed the House and are stalled in the Senate.

"The American people want action," said Armey. "They don't want political posturing. The Democrat-led Senate has a responsibility to vote on legislation. In fact, it's their job."

Could Vermont actually have been the home of Ethan Allen and The Green Mountain Boys?
Some days I have to think...and then remember that Vermont was actually on our
side during the Revolutionary War.

I guess Vermont has been totally subverted by the influx of too many Mass-holes
escaping Taxachussetts.
