FLASHPOINT for Feb 28, 2006

You may think affordable prescription drugs is a nonpartisan issue. Then again, you might only think that if you live on any planet but Earth. You have seen the coverage of national Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, pummeling the administration. Here at home, state Democrats are excited about a state Pharmacy Board meeting Wednesday in Reno. That's where the drug importation plan will be heard again. In a call to arms, the Nevada Democratic Party slyly mentioned that the plan is still alive despite "attempts by the Attorney General to kill the bill." Well, not exactly. Just ask George Chanos. Better yet, don't. Because this issue is going to follow him from now until November.
