Richard Cohen is smack on correct today as he ridicules Ted Stevens high-flown language defending his pork for Alaska and Stevens' threats to resign if the Senate voted on the Coburn bill to take the money for the infamous Bridge to Nowhere and spend it on Katrina relief. Stevens is a pompous windbag up there with Robert Byrd (whom he replaced as President Pro Tem of the Senate - there is a depressing thought). But Cohen is also correct that the Democrats missed a great opportunity to score points against Bush who had signed the pork-filled transportation bill. In this case, the senators' desire for pork outweighed the partisan points they could have scored. And that is a bipartisan shame.
