@ 10:16, while I'm sure there are plenty of things you can criticize Don Young of, his effectiveness is not one of them:

"He says Young scored highly year after year. He was 11th in his freshman term, out of nearly 200 Republicans. Eight times, according to their formula, Young was the No. 1 most effective Republican. When he chaired the House Natural Resources Committee Young was really at the top of his game, Prof. Volden says, even when compared to other chairmen."
