Time.com - Looking for a Corpse to Make a Case

What Republican sleaze.

Federal troops aren't the only ones looking for bodies on the Gulf Coast.

Sessions had an idea to revitalize their cause, which he left on Apolinsky's voice mail: '[Arizona Sen.] Jon Kyl and I were talking about the estate tax. If we knew anybody that owned a business that lost life in the storm, that would be something we could push back with.'
