Bought and old?
I know this is “how the game is played” in Washington, D.C. but I was profoundly embarrassed for my state to read this in an article about the venture firm that owns Chrysler today:
But last week Mr. Snow flew back to Washington to argue for a second rescue for Chrysler. Among those he met with was Robert F. Bennett, a Republican senator from Utah, according to a spokesman for the senator.
At a Senate hearing on Thursday, Mr. Bennett suggested that the government might help the automakers and require that Chrysler merge with G.M. — the outcome that Cerberus, though not Chrysler, favors, according to people familiar with the investment firm’s thinking.
Utahans expect more. From immigration to now auto bailouts Bennett rarely delivers. I’d say it is time for him to go. He and Hatch are the Senators from D.C. not Utah.
I’ve voted against them in the primary the last elections. And in the general, I’ve left their box blank.
