Maybe I'm too sceptical...

but I don't think so.  I know that we're supposed to believe that everthing politicians say is true but this comment today left me wondering.  60 Minutes had a report last night on the really negative, and supposedly unanticipated, results of a drug bill that was passed through both houses of Congress last year which makes it much harder for the DEA to intercept and confiscate large shipments of oxicotin drugs. Today on the evening news I heard snippets of an interview with a senator who pushed the bill through. He was asked if the fact that the drug industry gave $177,000 to his last campaign had any influence on his support of this bill? His response was that each of his campaigns cost, on average, over 10 million dollars and he really didn't keep track of individual donations. Really?  Granted, &177,000 isn't a huge percentage of ten million, but I find it really hard to believe he didn't know about it. So am I too sceptical? You decide.
