Did you watch 60 Minutes last night? This one will turn your stomach. The republican dishonesty is revolting. If you did not watch it, read this....you won't believe it. This is what a one party system gets you. Just in case Hoglund's pipeline, and its pricetag, begin to look too logical, Alaska's politicians have managed to force one more provision into the energy bill: An outright ban on the Hoglund route. “Our route is one-half the distance and one-half the cost. Now, how do you fight that? You pass a mandate to say that you can't look at it, you can't work on it,” says Hoglund. “And that's what Alaska's pushing through the U.S. Congress right now.” So why ban it in legislation? “Well, because obviously that is the authority of the Congress to take an action if they want to. They could have chosen not to,” says Murkowski, who pushed for it. “I'm proud of it. And because it's in the best interests of my constituents.” cbsnews.com Al
