Or, as a gleeful Nunes said of the two senators: "Now they've got to fight for their environmental wacko friends."(Nooo, what we have up here in the Sacramento/Northern Delta area are other farmers and conservatives that have had absolutely no equal representation based upon values and not politics at the table and are now forced to side with the so-called 'wacko' friends of Feinstein and Boxer to stop a full-fledged heist. Oh what a hypocritical web she has spun.)
