Here are today’s headlines from the Kansas congressional delegation:Rep. Dennis Moore (D) !(Kansas City Kansan) Moore says he won’t go on ‘Colbert Report’: Unfortunately for Stephen Colbert fans in Wyandotte County, Kansas’ “Fightin’ Third” Congressional District will probably not be profiled anytime soon on the popular Comedy Central show “The Colbert Report.” U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D – 3rd District) told the Kansas City Kansan this week that his office had been contacted by Colbert’s staff, but that he would probably not take part in an interview on the show. Colbert, a comedian who parodies conservative-leaning talk show hosts like Bill O’Reilly on his late-night show, interviews members of the House of Representatives in a 435-part series he calls “Better Know a District.” In addition to an interview with the legislator – or, in some cases, the legislator’s opponent in an election – Colbert also takes a humorous look at the district itself, including famous people from that district and products made there. He refers to each congressional district as “the Fightin’ (district number).”Sen. Pat Roberts (R)!(St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Political odd couple put Intelligence Committee back on track: They are an unlikely political duo, a liberal Democrat from West Virginia who is often sharply critical of the White House and a conservative Missouri Republican who bristles when the administration is attacked. Yet, Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Christopher “Kit” Bond have joined forces to put the Senate Intelligence Committee back on track after a rocky few years by running it in bipartisan fashion. … Sources on the committee attribute the previous wrangling partly to efforts by Vice President Dick Cheney to push issues he was interested in through then-Chairman Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., leading aggressive committee Democrats such as Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan to push back. With the Democratic takeover of the Senate, Rockefeller has moved to chairman and Bond vaulted over several Republicans to become vice chairman, Roberts left the committee and Levin moved over to become chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Whenever a committee flips (in party control) it’s got another dynamic anyway, but in this instance the difference between Rockefeller and Roberts is night and day,” said a senior Republican aide familiar with the committee’s workings, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Rockefeller is really an amiable guy, has no problem enticing Republicans to participate in the process, whereas Roberts tried to move along a Republican agenda.”(CQ Politics) Utah’s Bennett Steers PAC Money to Four Most Vulnerable GOP Senators: Utah Republican Sen. Robert F. Bennett might have a keen political eye for discerning which of his colleagues are most deserving of campaign contributions. Snow PAC, which is Bennett’s “leadership” campaign fundraising committee, on Friday reported that it donated $10,000 apiece last month to campaign treasuries of the four Republican senators who are up for re-election in 2008 in states that did not back President Bush in 2004. … Bennett’s PAC also gave $10,000 apiece to the Senate campaigns of North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole and Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who appear favored at the moment but might face credible contests. It also gave $5,000 to Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, who is expected to easily win re-election next year.Rep. Nancy Boyda (D) !(Washington Post) Bush to relaunch push for immigration reform: President Bush will relaunch his push for a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws today in Arizona, with a fresh speech on the border, a new congressional leadership that is friendlier to his views but facing the same dynamics that scuttled his last attempt: a cooperative Senate but bipartisan opposition in the House. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, has told the White House she cannot pass a bill with Democratic votes alone, nor will she seek to enforce party discipline on the issue. Bush will have to produce at least 70 Republican votes before she considers a vote on comprehensive immigration legislation, a task that might be difficult for a president saddled with low approval ratings. Her party’s conservatives, particularly freshmen who seized their seats from Republicans, had to weather a barrage of attacks on the issue before their victories in November, and are not eager to relive the experience, Democratic aides and lawmakers say. Some of those freshmen – such as Reps. Nancy Boyda, D-Kan., Brad Ellsworth, D-Ind., Nick Lampson, D-Texas, and Heath Shuler, D-N.C. – are opposed to any bill that would allow any of the nation’s estimated 12 million illegal immigrants legal residence or citizenship, at least until new border controls are implemented and working. “I’ve been respectful with my leadership, but I have been very firm on where I stand,” said Boyda, who endured a string of attack ads last fall from former Rep. Jim Ryun accusing her of favoring “amnesty” for undocumented workers. “I think they know I will be voting to represent my district, and they want me to do that.”Rep. Jerry Moran (R) !(Harris News Service) Panel eyes food needs in Kansas; Moran in Africa: Also Friday, another House Agriculture Committee member from Kansas, 1st District U.S. Rep. Jerry Moran, issued a report on food shortages in the Darfur region of Sudan, which he visited this week as co-chairman of the House Hunger Caucus. Moran plans to describe his trip and address U.S. food policy abroad during a telephone conference with media on Monday. “Villages are being attacked and crops destroyed,” Moran said in a statement issued by his office. “Thousands of people are without food and water and are dependent on relief organizations until the violence comes to an end. “No political struggle should cause the people of a nation to struggle for survival,” he said. “In a world where we have an abundance of food, we cannot let anything – including a country’s government – get between a hungry child and food.”Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R) !(AVWeb.com) User Fee Proposal Dead?: Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Kan., is close to declaring the FAA’s proposal to impose user fees on general aviation dead. “I think we’ve finally gotten the stake out and are about to drive it through user fees,” he told The Wichita Eagle’s editorial board last week. Tiahrt told the Eagle brass that he’s made fighting the funding proposal his top priority and enlisted the support of other members of Congress to defeat the plan. On the Eagle’s editorial board’s blog, Tiahrt’s tenacity was applauded but it appears that not everyone in aviation-centric Wichita thinks user fees are a bad idea.
