“supported every investigation” into the government’s role regarding the hurricane, when in fact he twice voted against an independent commission.”

From “Katrina Kerfuffle,” on FactCheck.org .

Notwithstanding the merits of the the votes in question – it’s hard to have a national discussion about important issues – such as what the lessons learned from Katrina might be – when United States senators lie, are uninformed, or misinformed, about their own voting records.
