We Sent Billy To Congress. He Became A Drug Whore
I hope you got a chance to see 60 Minutes Sunday. They did a segment on the Medicare Drug Bill shepherded through to passage by our former Congressman Billy Tauzin. The bill contained drug benefits for Medicare recipients and had a provision forbidding Medicare from negotiating drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry, thusly guaranteeing them windfall profits, at taxpayer expense. (See W's reaction below.) The bill became law at 3 A.M. in the morning after three hours arm-twisting. Billy retired soon thereafter and, within months, took a job with the same industry as their chief lobbyist at an annual salary of $2 million.
George W. Bush has threatened a veto of any changes.
Can anybody explain to me the difference between what Billy Tauzin did and what a crack whore does - offer up her body for a suck on that crack pipe? Is the difference that he sold his soul and not his hole?

Boy,did you hit the nail on the head with this post.
Billy Tauzin was in Washington DC for years and didn't even know our coast was disapearing. What a useless Human Being. And just to think the elevated road will carry his name. What a slap in the face to South Louisiana. Maybe it's time to remind everyone of all the politicians who has dropped the ball over the last 40 years especially the lame brain former Senator/lobbyist who wants to run for Govenor. More names are going to be exposed from me. Louisiana, don't forget.
