By the way, Jack, someone at Fox News reads your blog, either that, or it's a continuation of Fox News's tendency to mislabel misbehaving Republican Congresspeople as "-D". Either way, I've seen Wyden quoted on Fox at least three times in the past two weeks while in passing (long story), and he's always identified as "-R".

Chances are if you start checking around you will find that Bechtel, one way or another, was a Wyden campaign contributor.

One thing is for certain very little in Washington happens in a vacuum

You know how crazy Ron is.
Once he gets West of Buffalo, NY all the people/states look the same. He probably thought Hanford was some kind of OR green energy company to throw money at.
