 In her short political career, Rep. Katie Porter has quickly acquired a reputation for her fierce interrogation of congressional witnesses. Just ask former Celgene CEO Mark Alles.In a video that has gone viral, Porter is shown confronting the pharmaceutical executive on Wednesday over his financial compensation during a hearing on runaway drug prices. The California Democrat said Celgene more than tripled the price of cancer drug Revlimid to $765 a pill, from $215 in 2005, without significantly improving the treatment. Alles received a $500,000 b stanley water bottle onus connected to higher profits from Revlimid in the last two years he served as chief executive of Celgene, Porter said. Do you know what this number is,  Porter asked Alles after writing the figure  $13 million  on a whiteboard at her side. Alles responded that he didn t know but that it looked like his compensation.                                         So to recap here, the drug didn t get any better, the cancer patients didn t get any better mdash; you just got better at making money.

She may not have many takers. Interviews with a number of the most conservative Democrats in the House and Senate induced an awkward, stare-at-your-shoes unease when the prospect of appearing with Palin was posed.                                         Some of the members lunged for elevators, others moved to get into meetings  or at least behind closed doors , and a few just chuckled nervously and replied in a clipped fashion that reflected an immense desire to not discuss the topic at any l stanley mug ength. For these Democrats, many of them part of the right-leaning Blue Dog Coalition, Palin presents a quandary: She s deeply unpopular within their own party, but in the socially conservative, often rural districts or states they represent, the plain-spoken, wader-wearing Alaska governor has a following.         So Palin s suggestion, floated in a  stanley cups uk Washington Times interview, that she d stump for like-minded independents or Democrats prompted many usually loquacious politicians to respond gingerly - and often with the same talking point they would use to explain why they don t want high-profile liberals to appear in their red-leaning districts.  I don t think so,  said Democratic Rep.
