One thing that is always important to remember is that you cannot holder a Member of Congress responsible for something a staffer says on the phone. Actually, you can’t even necessarily hold the staffer responsible. Because it’s not an easy situation to be in in a vexed and contentious moment like this. But this must have been a fun moment …
TL here in Stevens Point, WI. I called David Obey’s office to ask about the Senate bill. I couldn’t get a straight answer. The best the staffer could say was the other representatives have said ‘no’ so it’s not on Obey anyway.
