another piece of enlightened legislation for you and your party to get behind in the weeks before the election "Frist to push border fence legislation Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), believing a broader immigration bill to be endangered, will move to proceed legislation to construct a border fence between the US and Mexico, according to an article at today's Congressional Quarterly. Advertisement Writer Michael Sandler describes Frist as being "eager to give embattled Republicans a 'get tough' immigration vote prior to the Nov. 7 elections," thus his planned action to push the already-passed House bill calling for 700 miles of borderline fencing. Whether Democrats would support the Frist tactic was unclear, according to Sandler, but Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) was quoted as saying, "[T]his is more of the political gamesmanship that we've been seeing on this issue from the very beginning."

Mr. Durbin: Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. Reid: I will be happy to yield for a question. Mr. Durbin: Can the Senator refresh my memory? Was Mr. Bremmer the recipient of a gold medal or something from the President? Didn't he receive some high decoration or medal for his performance in Iraq? Mr. Reid: The answer is, yes, he received that. I assume one would expect that from somebody who had a throne while he was over there. Mr. Durbin: Isn't it also true that George Tenet, who was responsible for the intelligence that was so bad that led us into the war in Iraq, got a medal from the President the same day? Mr. Reid: That is true. Mr. Durbin: Did Michael Brown with FEMA receive a gold medal from the White House before he was dismissed? Mr. Reid: I don't think he did. Even though he was doing a heck of a job, I don't think he obtained a medal from the White House. Mr. Durbin: Apparently, these gold medals were being awarded for incompetence. They missed Mr. Brown, but they did give one to Mr. Bremmer. Will the Senator yield for another question?
