The Ottawa Herald takes aim at Bob Dole pork reports
In a sharply worded editorial The Ottawa Herald rebukes Bob Dole for defending $5 million in federal park and historical projects as the nation faces a looming $300 billion deficit. The piece argues the deficit is unsustainable and mocks Dole’s defense as out of touch with the era of rising national debt. The editorial notes the letter arrived by fax and later by mail, joking about mail service and Dole’s use of free postage.
