You guys should watch CSPAN2 today. They are debating the stimulus bill in the Senate. |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-05-09 12:07 PM by Dawgs
It's getting pretty hot in there.
Lindsay Graham is screaming and yelling about bi-partisanship. He got interrupted by Boxer and Durbin to ask why he didn't act this way under Bush.
If nothing else, it's entertaining.

1. Sen. Boxer was great, btw |
|
Sen. Graham was waving the printed Jobs bill around and she caught him on it.
"Did the Senator ever theatrically wave one of the bills George Bush sent to the Senate around?"
LOL! Lindsey promptly resumed his bloviating theatrics without shame, as is his usual course of action.

19. Yeah. Never a word about it when * spent us into, |
|
as Barney Frank says, "the largest appropriations bill in history" meaning the Iraq War.
Or the irresponsible tax cuts to *'s base that robbed the treasury of needed revenue and created the largest redistribution of wealth in our nation's history.
Screw the hypocrisy!
