Do As We Say, Not As We Do


Yesterday, when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid withdrew the Omnibus Appropriations for 2011, he did so because the Rethug minority had declined to allow it to proceed under threat of filibuster. Why? The bill contained millions in earmarks. . . that they had requested. Apparently the Rethuglicans were nervous that their teatard base would catch on to the earmarks and stage a hissy fit. In other words, the Rethugs were for their earmarks before they were against them.
