On 60 Minutes last night they replayed their segment on the Prescription Drug legislation, how it was passed and how many of the key players may have been paid off (my interpretation) by drug companies to get the bill past. The cost to tax payers and profits to drug companies will be in the billions. The House has passed a measure to allow the government to negotiate prices similar to the way the VA does, but the measure is locked-up in the Senate.
The above situation is real. Democrats have a basis for real criticism of Republicans and the Bush administration. There may be some real ethical violation. And there can be some real savings, in the billions, to the American people. This real issue is being ignored, while Congress is fighting this very public battle over Gonzales, a battle that they will loose and a battle that has no real impact on anything important to other than Gonzales' reputation. What is wrong with this picture?
