MOTHER JONES: Key Democrats Try To Kill Climate Legislation. But don’t worry — they plan to replace it with something that generates more graft, so we’ve got that, anyway . . . .

On the other hand, if graft is what it takes to kill cap-and-trade, maybe it’s worth it, especially if the offshore-drilling stuff stays in. Hey, you don’t expect those guys to do something good for the country without graft, do you? This is Congress. When you’ve got something valuable, you don’t just give it away.
