| The GOP's energy bill will require ethenol in gasoline, apparently

This requirement was a rider attached by Daschle. The GOP accepted it or the
bill would have been filibustered like all of Bush's judicial appointments.

So, the GOP is condemned for not compromising, then condemned for accepting
