Show me the money
October 4, 2008OK, now that the bailout has been rammed through Congress and is now our responsibility, I would love to see what these “sweeteners” were that were so yummy that they made a crap sandwich palatable.
Joe Biden slipped over $51 million in earmarks into the first bill, and he got caught. If Obama has refrained from any similar earmarking activity, it’ll be a first. McCain-Palin could manage to salvage some mileage from this pork-laden monstrosity after all.
UPDATE: Miz Michelle’s got my back (though she’s characteristically a bit blunter on the matter).
UPDATE II: A friend emails and asks me why Michelle Obama is cited on my blog. Errmmm, if you’d click the link, you’d see that “Miz Michelle” is blogress Michelle Malkin. Seasoned WitSnapper readers know that my shorthand for Michelle Obama is “La Michelle.”
