- REPUBLICANS DELIVER BONER TO JOHN MCCAIN: “House Republicans approved a conference-wide moratorium on earmarks on Thursday, one day after a House committee enacted a ban on for-profit earmarks. The Republicans’ moratorium is more extensive than the House Appropriations Committee’s ban in that it applies to all earmarks for all members of the caucus.” Oh COME ON, Democrats, with your watered-down PR stunts! You just got easily one-upped by the comical House Republicans on something so basic and cable-friendly as banning stupid fucking earmarks for one year. Maybe consider taking one of those easy, clean-cut symbolic victories at some point? OH BUT BUT BUT WE WILL ONLY BAN FOW-PWOFIT ONES, WE’WE THE DEMOCWATS, WAH WAH, NUANCE, WAH, Jesus Christ.

Yeah, the Republicans’ ban is tougher — just like their standards for marriage fidelity. I’m betting they ignore the ban and then praise themselves for having such high standards that they’re incapable of meeting them.
For one whole year? Why one year, when they really only need the ban through November.
[re=529081]SayItWithWookies[/re]: They’re obviously too busy adhering to their high standards to actually adhere to their high standards.
Looks like they passed a bipartisan ban on the thought process.
Ah, good, nice to see the parties trying to outdo each other on stupid bullshit stunts, all over an issue beloved of Beltway pundits that nobody else cares about, and in fact which most people don’t even know exists.
Spit-take???????
This is Saskatchewan’s 12/25.
[re=529081]SayItWithWookies[/re]: [re=529084]megs[/re]: They were for high standards before they were against them.
[re=529084]megs[/re]: [re=529092]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Well, we are in a time of war. And the enemy hates us for our high standards. Therefore, obviously, we should throw them out the window.
So, no earmarks for the USO. Intercourse the troops.
This is only Act I.
Act II: Senate “We’ve passed even tougher earmarks legislation. No earmarks for anyone ever!”
Act III: Conference: “Well, we just can’t seem to agree on whether to ban earmarks this year or forever, so I guess we can’t ban them at all!!! (weeping uncontrollably).
Act IV: Conference agrees to not give any earmarks to Saskatchewan.
Act V: President signs. General rejoicing and a big party scene. Ann Coulter flashes her boobs. Fade out on McCain’s enigmatic smile.
As with my earlier predictions, you heard it here first.
The legacy of Walnuts. Can we bury him now?
[re=529105]bureaucrap[/re]: Ahhhh! OK, the thought of the Ann-beast’s boobs has flushed all feelings the Carla Bruni photos had stirred in me.
[re=529108]bitchincamaro[/re]: The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with WALNUTS!
Chickenshit for chickenshit’s sake.
I think its the republicans who got hoodwinked. Now democratic districts get “non profit” earmarks, and republican districts get no friggin’ earmarks at all. For all the bitching about earmarks, voters actually appreciate it when their representatives bring home the bacon.
I guess republicans will just have to go back to taking their earmarks under the table.
[re=529105]bureaucrap[/re]: Oh please. Ann Coulter
flashes her boobswriggles her penis around in some nearby excrement, more like.I guess the turrists have won.
That’s fucking petarded.
[re=529144]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: her boobs are flat and hairy
All just to give the finger to PBS, but PSYCHE-PBS IS ALL CONSERVOBOT NOW SUCKAZ
Thanks a panload from Arizona. AS IF we ever got earmarks anyway. We don’t even have rest stops on I10 anymore (and I need them to change my pants every time a semi runs me off the road as he’s trying to pass a tourist hauling an oversized camper that’s weaving all over both lanes). On second thought, maybe those aren’t tourists. Maybe they’re hobos who live in those things. TRANSLATION: Give people JOBS and they won’t have time to worry about earmarks, which they already think are a birth defect afflicting people born in DC.
Does this mean that Patty Murray is going to have to commit suicide?
Earmarks– doesn’t that have to do with Trig being fake????
The Demolosi’s can’t help but continually sticking their collective dicks in the door, but I hope to God that the Pub’s don’t join them. I wouldn’t bet any money that they won’t screw this up.

Can I risk suggesting that all earmarks aren’t bad? In fact, they are a lot LESS sneaky than when a member of Congress or his/her staff slide a little language into the conference report for an appropriations bill that dictates how the agency must spend their money. How many people read the conference reports? That’s where the entertaining stuff happens, sometimes.
That’s quite a gift for Cindy.

Considering Coulter stores those tits in a file drawer, do you really want to see them?
Also, this story will fade away to mist by tomorrow, as the giant Senate investigation into the Boys and Girls Clubs gains traction.
The New Republicans, Working Hard for You. The Power of No. Get Some.
