Political Factoid
Sen. David Vitter (R-LA)*
applied coercion by blocking
a pay increase to the Secretary
of Interior Salazar
... that would elevate his
salary to that of other cabinet
posts now that his original
Senate term has expired.
"[W]hen the rate of permits issued
for new deepwater exploratory wells
reaches pre-moratorium levels
(to 6 per month), I will end my efforts
to block your salary increase," said
Vitter.
Ransom, ransom, who has the ransom?
