Barbara Boxer was on C-Span this morning discussing the stimulus bill when she declared: "Writing this bill is like making sausage."

That's about right. Coincidentally, we have a web ad on a similar subject released today:

Sometimes you let things in the sausage making procedure slip by. Other times you have to call both PETA and the health department to have the sausage factory shut down. Right now we're in the second situation.

“’Stimulus’ comes from the verb stimulare, which is Latin
for ‘transfer massive sums of money from what remains of
the dynamic sector of the economy to the special interests
of the Democratic Party.’
No, hang on, my mistake.
Stimulare means ‘to goad.’
And, on that front, the Democrats are doing an excellent
job.
They’ve managed to goad 58 percent of the American people
into opposing the ‘stimulus’ package.”

“Writing this bill is like making sausage.”

More like making CRAP sausage!
Stuffing a bunch of CRAP into a package,trying to make it palatable and attempting to feed it to the American people.
The thing is,we’ve had enough of this diet.Don’t get me wrong-I like pork just as much as the next person,just not the filthy stinking kind!

Someone once said that if you saw sausage being made, you would never eat it. I hope the country does not swallow this stuff.

[Right Wing Assault]

Then this must be PORK sausage.

Hard to believe obama would even be near it.

LOL! “Even honeybees need insurance.”

Go, Chuck, Go!

Pleased to see my guy Campbell has finally seen the light and is No-voting this crap. He caught some flak for supporting Bush on the first one.

[SierraWasp]

"...not the filthy stinking kind!"

surely you knew they now eat every part of a pig, except the squeal, right???

[calcowgirl]

You folks could do a lot better than Campbell — of course, ya could do worse, too.

Seems like that old story about digging for the pony.

At the start, I had very low expectations for John Campbell. I must say I have been pleasantly surprised. He has been with us on most of the touchstone issues (like amnesty). John fully understands which side of the political spectrum it is where his constituents reside.

And yes, we could indeed do much worse. For example, right next door in Santa Ana we have Loretta Sanchez...

Best put a wall around Santa Ana... or an army of immigration enforcers.

Pass the bricks and barbed wire--we're ready.
