If Pavlov wanted an affirmation of his theories, all he'd need to listen for is the salivating of the Nevada hounds after an Energy Department news release. First to yap about the latest "all's well at Yucca" report was Rep. Jon Porter using pretty mild adjectives such as "unfortunate" and "haphazard." Next up was Rep. Jim Gibbons, who barked about "an insult to the people of Nevada." Then came a snarling Rep. Shelley Berkley, who lamented the DOE's attempt to "paint a happy face on the sad state of affairs." Last but not least, Sens. John Ensign and Harry Reid with a joint woofer using words such as "laughable" and "absurd." Oh, when they call the DOE's name, they salivate like a Pavlovian dog.
