14. Pushing pipeline is keystone to Terry's D.C. career.

I shit you not headline front page of today's Omaha World Herald. Nebraska Congressman Lee Terry(R) water boy for Keystone XL.

Story about his work pushing the pipeline. Sorry the story is print only. I checked for a link and haven't found one. I had just watched this video this morning and then walked to the mailbox to get the Sunday paper and saw the story. Poor sad Republican happy little story washed away in a flood of crude oil.

Hope they win the battle keeping it out of the lake.
