Most you know that Time Magizene have named Minnesota Senator Mark Dayton one of the top five worst Senators. They did this for many reason's.
Here is what our Duluth news paper things of that. What a joke just like the paper is.
Dayton needn't give Time of day to magazine's criticism
So the magazine that named Hitler and Stalin as men of the year has deemed that Sen. Mark Dayton doesn't live up to its standards of leadership. Good for Dayton.
In what must have been a slow news week, Time named the Minnesota Democrat one of the five worst senators, ridiculing him for temporarily closing his Washington office in 2004 after a terrorism scare. "The 99 other senators had access to the same intelligence and kept their offices open," the know-it-all newsweakly stated.
So what? Based on far more dubious intelligence, a majority of those 99 other senators -- and not Dayton -- voted for the war in Iraq. Regardless of your feelings about the war, Dayton's office evacuation didn't cost the lives of 2,377 American servicemen and women.
Time also chastised Dayton for saying the Mayo Clinic is "worth a whole lot more than the whole state of South Dakota," though Dayton, ever the gentleman, apologized for the remark.
The magazine's choice for best senator?
Republican Thad Cochran of Mississippi.
We're sure he's worth every bit of his $8,000 donation from Jack Abramoff.
