Specter: Toomey 'like those AIG guys'
Politico ^ | 2009-04-07 | Andy Barr

Posted on 04/10/2009 4:27:24 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) Tuesday compared his likely primary challenger, Pat Toomey, to the AIG executives who took home big bonuses as the government was bailing out their failing company.

“If you followed Mr. Toomey's ideas, you would be where the 401(k)'s are — at about half the value,” Specter said during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“When you take a look at his record, he's been contribut[ing] to the problem,” Specter said of Toomey, a former congressman and Wall Street trader. “And now he wants a promotion; he wants a bonus like those AIG guys.”

“Those AIG Guys” were perfectly entitled to their bonuses just as Toomey is perfectly entitled to your seat...

Well, Mr. Spectre, YOU ARE THERE, and we're at half the value of our 401K's! What an idiot!

Specter is nervous - I’ve already seen campaign ads from him crucifying Toomey.

Sen. Sphinter has a smart a**h*le...his is the only muscle that can tell the difference between a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Trouble is, no matter what comes out of him, it is unacceptable.
