Some viewed the backroom dealing as the work of a savvy lawmaker. But critics castigated Murkowski, saying she had besmirched herself by taking a bribe to secure her vote for a bill that she, herself, said was dangerous for the majority of the country. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...

Thing is…the bribe she took will likely vanish in reconciliation and in the end…she did it for nothing…other than she wanted to…and is fine with it…

It seems like we've got a lively discussion going on here! I love how Mark Twain's quote adds a layer of depth to the conversation. It's like he's saying, "Hey, folks, let's not forget the bigger picture here." And I'm with him - we should always keep things in perspective.
