Jeff Sessions needs dead wealthy person
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1106213,00.html

Federal troops aren't the only ones looking for bodies on the Gulf Coast. On Sept. 9, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions called his old law professor Harold Apolinsky, co-author of Sessions' legislation repealing the federal estate tax, which was encountering sudden resistance on the Hill. Sessions had an idea to revitalize their cause, which he left on Apolinsky's voice mail: " Jon Kyl and I were talking about the estate tax. If we knew anybody that owned a business that lost life in the storm, that would be something we could push back with."

Didn't see it here so I wanted to document this ghoul's soulless works.

1. They used 3000 corpses as a political tool after 9/11...
what makes you think they'd hesitate to do this?

2. Maybe they killed 3000 "for the cause"
Just wanted this story on the "Alabama" link.

5. I'd have to say Sensebrenner
Session's just a boot licking erand boy (notice the article refers to Jon Kyl - bet he was the idea guy. And Kyl is more vile than Sensenbrenner)

"The death tax is unfair, inefficient, economically unsound and, frankly, immoral." Jon Kyl (R-Vile)

4. Leave it to one of the biggest idiots in the Senate with big ears
and a cartoon voice that's out of the BullWinkle thingie.

Only a tiny percentage of people are affected by the estate tax—in 2001 only 534 Alabamans were subject to it.
Apolinsky and his team of estate-sniffing sleuths, who are searching Internet obituaries among other places. Has he found any victims of both the hurricane and the estate tax? "Not yet,"

6. Geez, maybe Sessions could become a casualty
It'd be like winning one for the Gipper. Strap him to a flag pole during the next hurricane please. When I read this (and I saw it when it first came out), I about puked. This from the moral values-culture-of-life party?

7. Sorry, Herr Sessions--all the rich people could afford gas to drive
to safety before the hurricane.

Hey, Jeffy--what's gonna happen when one of those rich people's insurance company tries to screw him/her on the payment for their ruined home? You gonna go after the insurance company?
