rssWhen I Said “Democrats,” I Meant “Republicans”

Good catch by the New York Times:
This morning, in opening remarks on the floor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell began by ticking off amendments that passed on Tuesday night, proposals that added at least $17 billion to the bill. “Unfortunately, Democrats just keep throwing more money on top of an incredibly bloated bill,” Mr. McConnell said earlier today. (Although $11 billion of the money he mentioned is the estimated cost of [a] car-purchasing tax deduction — one that received broad G.O.P. support. And $6.5 more billion went toward additional money for the National Institutes of Health, which Republican Senator Arlen Specter backed.)
I don’t think those amendments were poison pills. McConnell is saying one thing to the cameras and another thing to the members of his conference.

I wish someone would just kick that sob square in the nuts during his lying rants. Obama seriously has to find one of these weakazz motherflippers and just wail on them until they run away crying, just to establish his bona fides, or they are going to weasel whine, lie and sleaze their way through until 2010 when a batch of eggs will hatch across America and new greasy monsters in blue suits with pocket bibles will rise up to retake our government and feed us to the Chinese.
