"Looking into it" referred to BBV, not specifically Cleland.

And I think Wellstone was outspoken and forthright enough in general to qualify as one of the "good guys" regardless of any specific vote. Obviously, if Russ was the only one to vote against Patriot, then you're not going to find a lot of senators who can pass that litmus test. And yes, the tribute was separate from the comment about the Repug Lite crowd.

This battering around on the basis of isolated factoids gets really tiring. You can always find something about anyone to pee your pants about, but it's not helpful and I'm not impressed. I know what both Russ and Paul stand/stood for, and these niggling little irritants serve no useful function when we need to be looking at larger pictures.
