Clinton's gas tax holiday is no vacation
Let's see if primary voters buy Hillary Clinton's line that respect equals pandering, that if you really feel people's pain, you appeal to their ignorance. The recent to-do over Clinton's — and McCain's — proposal for a federal gas tax holiday marked a new low in this already-rock-bottom campaign. George Bush's suggestion that high gas prices mean we should drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) was merely business as usual. Even before the end of Bush's first term, it had become a kind of running joke: Ask this administration a question, any question, about domestic policy and if the answer isn't "cut taxes," it's "open ANWR."

And although he has no real opponent as yet, His Excellency has only $129,639.98 in the bank for the 2009 campaign and only took in $29,430.90 in March — and hired fundraiser Colby Underwood got $3,500 of that. So it's no wonder Nickels' staff is cranking out press releases that attach his name to everything that happens in this town.
