I love this story about the pro-dump caucus acting so wronged because Sen. Harry Reid plans to use his majority leader's position to hurt the Yucca Mountain Project. Abuse of power, these fine folks cried. How can he put the needs of the few - that's us, fellow Nevadans - before the needs of the many? Oh, please. Were these principled folks outraged when a senator by the name of Bennett Johnston decided to use his power 19 years ago to pass a measure infamously known as the Screw Nevada Bill, one that singled out the state because of its weak political clout? Or how about the devious idea of interim storage, which again was designed to screw Nevada? Where was the protest then? Situational principles. Must be D.C.
