I'm being stimulated!
Hand it to Snowe & Collins as pieces of silver.
No... No... The piggies squealing at the trough and ruining are state are waaaaayyy bigger than that, I mean its only a little piglet by comparison!!
What do the Maine state government and Hamas have in common?

They both have $900 million in money Obama borrowed from China to pay off his pals.
Hand it to Snowe and Collins as pieces of high-velocity lead.
That $900 million will just about bail out Dirigo.
I want mine now!
Obummer when do I get my PORKULUS Check?
Senators Snowe and Collins: You got pwned. Gaza got that much from Obama. Idiots...
Maine, thanks for helping to bankrupt the country. Enjoy your stimulus.
And how much of this goes into the “re-elect Snowe and Collins” campaigns? Surely they had a figure before casting their votes!
I thought they were to get 30 pieces of silver.
