There is, Dear Gentle Reader(s), a full page ad in today’s The Desert Sun* (Palm Springs/Coachella Valley) which gives credit to Representative Mary Bono for her vote in favor of the recently passed energy plan.
It’s a wonder of circumspection in part, and in something else in small part.
“Leading businesses and moderate conservation groups” is the lead phrasing. The catch word there is “moderate.” No tree huggers, folks. Circumspection.
The second para begins with “Despite enormous pressure to toe the Washington line…” Key word—Washington. The pressure didn’t come from Washington. Whatever that is. It came from the Republican party. Something else. Fudging?
Bono-Mack (her married name) voted outside of the Republican caucus. The ad nimbly sidesteps that fact. This is, after all, a bastion of Republican thinking (Prop Hate, er, 8 passed easily in the area).
Republican pressure becomes Washington pressure. OK. That’s doable.
