[edit] Neutrality

The neutrality of this article isn't actually in question, since it's a lovefest for the Senator. If it wasn't edited by his Senate staff, it was edited by a member of his family. On top of that, it doesn't cite any sources for its clear campaign-headline claims. Info999 00:38, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

The current issue of The New Republic (09.10.07) discusses Senator Grassley in "The strange heroism of Chuck Grassley. Earnest Goes to Washington" by Eve Fairbanks at https://ssl.tnr.com/p/docsub.mhtml?i=20070910&s=fairbanks091007 (subscription required). The New Republic, described in Wikipedia as "socially liberal," paints a more positive picture of the Senator than this contested Wikipedia entry does.Drienstra 03:09, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting

Noticed this article was edited by the same IP belonging to the US Senate [1] that removed vietname related claims from Tom_Harkin's article.
