What’s Dianne’s excuse
by digby
In case anyone’s wondering who the Democrats were who crossed the aisle to vote for the Bush tax cuts, here they are:
Breaux
Baucus
Carnahan
Cleland
Feinstein
Johnson SD
Kohl
Landrieu
Lincoln
Miller GA
Nelson NE
Torricelli
Five are gone now, for various reasons. It certainly didn’t help Max Cleland. Torricelli ethics problems didn’t go away. The others are the usual suspects.
But what, what in the hell was Dianne Feinstein doing? And why is she going to be re-elected? From California, of all places?
It’s all moot now since the Democrats all voted to extend the damned things, but when that vote was taken, there was absolutely no reason for her to join in. Someone should ask her why she did it.
