Cheney's too sexy to legislate

No doubt not wanting to overdo it, Dick Cheney sponsered and passed all of two bills in his illustrious eleven years in Congress.

Congressman John Spratt (D-SC), ranking member on the House Budget Committee, made the following remarks on a call today:

“Dick Cheney served in the Congress for 11 years. I served with him for most of these years. In that time, he only passed two bills. One was to build a flood plain on the Colorado River and the other was a bill to help a constituent. What’s even more telling about Dick Cheney’s record in the House is not what he supported but what he opposed – things like Headstart and funding for seniors. It seems pretty dishonest for Bush and Cheney to be attacking John Kerry - who passed 57 bills in the Senate – for his legislative accomplishments.”
