Why am I starting to not like guys named "Tucker"?

Except the great Forrest Tucker, of course.

5. sorry it was not the bridge to no where..that was included in the highway bill

it was Young's tit for tat between Alaska and Florida

The Senate moved yesterday toward asking the Justice Department for a criminal investigation of a $10 million legislative earmark whose provisions were mysteriously altered after Congress gave final approval to a huge 2005 highway funding bill.

6. It's easy to do when no one will follow up.. The thing is that these earmarks get

stuck in the end of a bill that must be passed.. Its the pork... They normally insert these little monied items in the end of a bill like transportation or budget.. something that has to be passed to function. Fortunately for Tucker, he knows that most American people do not understand their govt and can get away with saying... Well Obama and Biden voted to give it to Alaska.. so who's fault is it. Nora should have followed with, she wanted the bridge, then dumped it when politacl heat was on. So, given that she changed her mind, why didn't she return the funding to Washington? Why did she decide to keep the pork?
