Shelley Berkley is so awesome that I think I could convince my wife that a divorce would be a good idea so I could marry the esteemed Congresswoman.

Yeah, she's so awesome that she voted FOR the UIGEA. See http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2006/roll516.xml. Now she wants to "study" whether it should be revisited. Oh yeah, that's political courage, all right.

She was one of the few who publicly opposed the UIGEA and gave a pretty impassioned speech on it. She voted for the Safe Port Act if anything not the UIGEA.

I never get tired of watching this!!!! She rocks

I might agree, if she had actually voted against the bill. Then her actions would match her rhetoric. As it is, she said all the right things, but did the wrong thing. If saying the right thing while doing the wrong thing is what you deem to make somebody "rock," well, so be it. I simply disagree. Actions speak far louder than words. She voted for the UIGEA when the final version was up for a vote. Period. Given that unarguable fact, it's awfully hard for me to consider her on the right side of the issue.
