“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Political misstep

Yesterday I contemplated the effects of returning dirty money to an indicted lobbyist. Other than the political gain from distancing yourself from a guy you now know is corrupt, I didn't see much point.

Montana Senator Conrad Burns doesn't even see the political gain. He's refusing to return money from indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and friends because the money is already spent.

This is one reason that kos thinks Burns is vulnerable. And he's got an opponent all picked out.
