Blogroll, Congress, GOP Hypocrisy
It is nothing less than astounding that Pres. Obama and the congressional Democrats have allowed themselves to be put on the defensive about stimulus spending by the same Republicans who, with George Bush, ran the national debt into the trillions in just six short years.
It does not bode well that the president and the Democrats can’t find the cojones to cram the Republicans’ hypocrisy on spending back in their faces.
In particular, this would be a good time to remind Sen. McConnell, Rep. Boehner and the rest that it was they who sat idly by while Bush’s men shrink-wrapped $12 billion in U.S. currency — 363 tons of $100 bills — loaded it onto pallets and flew it on transport planes into the Iraq war zone in mid-2003.
That money vanished into thin air, and Republicans have stonewalled Democrats’ efforts to find out what happened to it ever since.

SURE…they…LOST…it…all
What about the no bid contracts?
and under who’s watch did this occur? Dan Senor…..CNN’s Campbell Brown’s husband.
ooops.
The right wing’s reflexive need to lie never ceases to amaze. Dan Senor is a classic GOP ideologue, who was the press spokesman for the Bush administration in Iraq. The fact that he’s married to a news presenter is irrelevant.
The loss of those billions happened on the watch of Republicans: George Bush, Dick Cheney, Sec. of State Colin Powell, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, House Speaker Dennis Hastert and, mostly, Bush’s viceroy in Iraq, Paul Bremer, who was Senor’s boss.
Double Oops.
… and then they had Anna-Nicole Smith murdered to make the media look the other way.

You mean “no bias, no bull, no brains” (just the money) Campbell Brown…?
I’m sure whatever happened to the money, it went to good use.

I wonder if an economic stimulus was felt in the Casbah?
