CBS' Nancy Cordes introduced us to an excellent assortment of amputees on Capitol Hill. A collection of nine swimmers, surfers and fisherman found themselves in shark infested waters and left pieces of their bodies behind: one lobbyist has a lacerated Achilles heel; another a gash across the stomach; a couple more are now armless. They have decided their attackers are the ones that need protection and are lobbying for stricter regulation of the shark fishery. "A third of shark species are threatened with extinction," Cordes reported. "An estimated 100m sharks are slaughtered every year, three quarters of them just for their fins." So for CBS, the day's major Congressional story was neither healthcare nor a Supreme Court nomination, but a Shark's Tale.
