1. That is fantastic

I was going to ask for a link, but simply googled - http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5g_ujLRhvOKkk84_vZ8SwdrJ0yLawD9GKAOQG0

I also found that Lautenberg will replace Byrd "as chair of U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg will replace the late Sen. Robert Byrd as chairman of the influential subcommittee that controls homeland security funds".

This has apparently REALLY angered Landrieu because she has more seniority on the committee and it includes FEMA. Inouye gave the chair to Lautenberg. Landrieu has more seniority because Lautenberg gets no credit from his first three terms. (Seeing how little the Small Business Committee does under Landrieu vs when Kerry had it, it is likely good that he gave this chair to Lautenberg. Not to mention, they took all pre 2009 hearings off the website.)
