Tom Daschle is trying to take credit for passage of a bill he voted against and even tried to filibuster, as seen by his press release published verbatim in the Native American Times headlined "Senate Approves Nearly $11.5 Million for Tribal Projects Senators announce." Gee, doesn't that list of projects contained in the press release look familiar? But the bottom line is that Tom Daschle has managed to get himself a Native American primary opponent named Tim Giago, perhaps due in small part to Daschle trying to get cute with this omnibus spending bill. I don't think Tim Giago is buying what Tom Daschle is trying to sell.
I especially like the way Senator Johnson accuses Republicans of "bogging down" the spending bill, particularly in light of a story in the New York Times yesterday headlined "Senate Approves Huge Spending Bill After Democrats' Delay." Yes, even the NYT says the Democrats delayed the bill.
