Rivers Runs Through It
John Dingell done in by upstart feminism? Also: Erskine Bowles tries the four-corners. Plus: A Principled McCain.
(Page 3 of 3)
to fill a post on the Federal Election
Commission, no one called McCain on what he said earlier this year
when Sen.
Joe Biden
put a hold on a couple of
nominations of importance to McCain (in retaliation for McCain’s
opposition to Amtrak measures of importance to Biden).
/p>
“I just think it’s wrong to hold up people’s nominations that are otherwise qualified because you have an agenda item,” McCain said at the time, as reported by the Hill last March 6. “I intend to tell Sen. Biden that I won’t negotiate with him on Amtrak issues until he lets these people go.”
Why was it wrong then and not now?
