TN Senator Alexander adopting Democratic stance (who'da figure)

[Flirtus]

U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) on Wednesday said the federal government’s current rule on mercury emissions may not be strong enough to protect Tennessee and urged Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen to continue his investigation into the extent to which coal-fired power plants are contributing to the problem of mercury deposits in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

This seems outta left field, I haven't heard anything from Alexander in years. He must be ponying up to the presidential bar...

1. Alexander has been a good little boot-licker and lock-stepper

[speedoo]

2. Oh so Lamar's pretending to be a populist again?

Was he wearing his red and black plaid campaign wool sirt?

Don't be fooled by this lying rethug weasel.

3. He saw the election results

& is doing some preemptive work.
