"You remember the ice age? It's been warming ever since, and there ain't nothing
we can do to stop it." - Conrad Burns (R - MT)
While Senator Burns' website indicates that he attended college for a spell, it is unclear that he ever finished. Given his above statement that is perhaps not surprising.
Apparently, Senator Burns is barely tolerated in Montana (38% approval rating, or some such absurdly low number), despite the fact that he managed to bring $2 billion in federal funds back to his state. How large are Montana's federal tax receipts? Because someone is certainly getting the "short end of the stick".
Time, a magazine of some repute (in my opinion), cited Senator Burns as one of America's 5 Worst Senators.
Senator Burns was apparently for a time in bed with Abramoff. (I don't mean that literally -- well, let me put it this way, as of yet, there is no evidence to support a literal view.)
