Shameless Bush sends cabinet member with $$$$ to Ohio
WASHINGTON - Just before voters went to the polls, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman headed to Ohio Monday to hand out federal money that she said shows her boss "is committed to assisting small businesses in rural America."....

They were the latest examples of Bush's use of his Cabinet and taxpayer-funded largess based on Congress' choices to help try to swing the election. Bush's last day of stumping began in Ohio, which no Republican has lost and still won the White House....

Veneman used a relatively small award — a $1.5 million loan guarantee for a family-owned lumber company — to justify her appearance in Ohio. She also announced nearly $100 million for conservation projects among 16 states and Caribbean islands.

3. And if there were time to research it,
we would probably find out Bush opposed the program anyway. Dicks.
