twitterFlashpoint for Jan. 14, 2006
Saturday, Jan. 14, 2006 | 7:17 a.m.
Something tells me Rep. Jon Porter may regret announcing so quickly that he backs Ohio's John Boehner to succeed Tom DeLay. Porter appeared to know nothing about Boehner's notorious disbursement of tobacco checks on the House floor a decade ago. And I bet he is unaware that dump proponent Boehner once was "educated" about Yucca Mountain by the Nuclear Energy Institute. And as Jonathan Turley wrote in The Chicago Tribune, Boehner and a colleague felt that "they could best understand Yucca Mountain not by visiting Nevada but with a paid tour of Barcelona and Seville, Spain--with their wives--at a cost of roughly $34,000." Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
