It had been mere hours since Mitt Romney angered Palestinians by saying Israel's culture was part of the reason the country has prospered.

"It is inexcusable for the EPA to release the personal information of American families and then call for it back, knowing full well that the erroneously released information will never be fully returned," he said in a statement to FoxNews.com. "While EPA acknowledging that it erred is a first step, more must be done to protect the personal information of our farmers and ranchers now and in the future. I will continue to demand answers from the EPA on how this information was collected and why it is still being distributed to extreme environmental groups to the detriment of our farm and ranch families."
The filibuster was "enormously helpful" to him politically, Mr. Thune said, in the Politico report.
