It’s a question we’ve all been waiting to hear answered – it just took a conservative talk radio host to ask it.

In an interview with Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, Pa., talk show host Laura Ingraham asked why he and Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins are the only three out of 229 Republican members of Congress to support the stimulus. She inquired if it might have had something to do with being invited to the White House by President Barack Obama.

“Is it nice to be wined and dined at the White House?” Ingraham asked. “And, you’re treated pretty well when you’re a Republican bucking other Republicans, right Senator?”

“And there are projects, shovel-ready, which can be put to good use immediately and put people to work,” Specter said.

Specter, you Buffoon, when the job is done the job GOES AWAY!!!! You freakin r-tard! Temporary jobs just COST MONEY and CREATE NOTHING!You get no NEW jobs out of a paved road either! Once the work is done we are right back where we started from only 1.2 TRILLION FURTHER in DEBT!

You DAMNED Traitor!

We need to Massively fire them all, the People’s impeachment.

The only Republicans that do have stones seem to be female.

Palin, Inghram, Coulter, Bachmann

This jerk believes Fast Eddy and Mayor Nutter, what a mistake. I have dealt with the PA Dept of General Services and PennDot for 15 years and they couldn’t get a “Shovel Ready” project out in less that a year and probably longer. Philly is a whole different matter, nothing gets done without six Unions involved. Six, not 4 like most cities.

“Laura, we have a big chunk of this money going to roads, highways and mass transit,” Specter said. “I talked to the governor of my state and he said we could do it in nine months. And I said, ‘That’s really not good enough.’ And he said, ‘If we really twist and turn we can cut it back to six months. And I talked to the mayor of a major city this morning that has a parking plot going up, which is out of money and the work can go forward this afternoon.”

‘TWIST AND TURN’???.....what is that suppose to mean? It sure doesn’t sound above board to me.

I wonder if he feels kind of like a cheap hooker after a long Saturday night?

Lord how I hate Northeastern Republicans.

“Now let’s get off it Laura,” Specter replied. “I’m not drinking any wine at the White House and I don’t dine at the White House. If the president wants to talk to me – I talk to him and I make my own independent judgment. Don’t give me the wine and dine baloney young lady.”

Specter does whatever he wants, and nobody will change his mind or shame him.

The sphincter really tightened up when she called him out.

Laura, you are truly a treasure. Keep doing the jobs that American (media) doesn’t want to do.
