FLASHPOINT for Mar 01, 2006
Wednesday, March 1, 2006 | 7:16 a.m.
Here, in a nutshell, is Jack Carter's problem. And it has nothing to do with Jack Carter. The Democratic U.S. Senate contender's problem is embodied in this sentence from a joint release on a Yucca Mountain hearing today from Democratic U.S. Sen. Harry Reid AND his friend and colleague, GOP Sen. John Ensign: "Reid and Ensign have led Nevada's fight against the Yucca Mountain nuke dump for years." It's even conversational. Nuke dump! These senators are friends, pals. They walk alike; they talk alike, and they even testify alike. What a crazy pair. And they're senators, identical senators. Except on pure partisan issues, of course. But that's the way they like it. And that is Jack Carter's biggest problem.
