A Senate Attempt to Revive The XL Pipeline

Yesterday, 44 U.S. Senators announced that they would co-sponsor legislation to move the Keystone XL Pipeline forward.   Sadly, they are all Republicans.  Among them is Senator Mike Johanns of Nebraska who through his misguided efforts helped give the president grounds to veto it to begin with.   We're glad he's trying to make amends.


On the other hand, for some reason the grumpy old loser, Nebraska's Judas Ben Nelson's name isn't on the bill.   Of course, he too bears responsibility for giving the president fodder to reject the pipeline.   Unlike his comrade Senator Johanns, Nelson apparently isn't repentant enough to care about his misdeed and those American jobs and energy security.
