$30M to save Pelosi’s mouse

| February 11, 2009

We won! You assholes!

Slublog at Ace of Spades writes that the Democrats went into a closed-door session last night to conference the stimulus bill and they locked Republicans out. That’s fine – they own the economy now no matter how it performs, it’s all Democrat.

At Human Events, Connie Hair quotes Mike Pence;

They intend to attempt to shove this $1.3 trillion spending bill through in the dead of the night without Republican input so floor action can take place in both chambers on Thursday.

I spoke with House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) moments ago about this latest version of Democratic “bipartisanship.” Pence told me, “I think the American people deserve to know that legislation that would comprise an amount equal to the entire discretionary budget of the United States of America is being crafted without a single House Republican in the room.”

And it needs to mentioned every time someone talks about the economy. Along with a mention of Nancy Pelosi’s $30 million mouse (from the Washington Times);

House Republicans are challenging Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claim that the massive stimulus spending bill contains no pet projects after uncovering in the bill more than $30 million for wetlands conservation in her San Francisco Bay area district, including work she previously championed to protect the salt marsh harvest mouse.

“This sounds like spending projects that have been supported by a certain powerful Democrat in the past,” said Michael Steel, spokesman for House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican.

“It certainly doesn’t sound like it will create or save American jobs,” he said. “So can Speaker Pelosi explain exactly how we will improve the American economy by helping the adorable little” critter?

Along with the bee insurance, fish barriers, tens of millions of dollars for shrimp research, and now money to save a rodent. This rodent;

Yes, he’s cute, but not $30m cute.

I like cuddly little critters, myself, so I’m willing to cut a deal.
For a mere fraction of the budget – like, maybe just a couple of million – my wife and I will allow Peloser and her libtard buds to ship me a few hundred of these little fellows. I will add them onto my own medical insurance plan and feed them and tell them bedtime stories every night. I will keep our assortment of dogs and cats from eating them. The little mice are saved from extinction, I can build that garage I’ve always wanted… and we save the taxpayers save billions. Win/win/win, yes?

You people are at it again. How many jobs will be created if we are taking care of a natural treasure? You don’t know the answer so how can you be against this? You’re just picking at small pieces of the whole plan and not giving any details so its easy to cover up the facts.

I have to say SD’s silly little post was the funniest thing I’ve read in ages!

Yo, SD,

Your village called. They want their idiot back.

Southern Democrat,

Bull Connor was Southern Democrat. You smell just like that racist clown.

About 7% is jobs/stimulus and 93% is pork. Hell even the AP corrected ObamaLiar on the definition of pork and earmark.

Obama = Fastest Worst President Ever

CORRECTION:

That’s the “Lovely Connie Hair”…

So a trillion dollars, $30 million for the salt marsh harvest mouse and no jobs even for the salt marsh harvest mice?

How “Liberal”!

At $30 million, is at least getting the little guys laid?

A frickin mouse is a national treasure? Man, SD, you are really as dense as we all thought you were. Shrimp, fish, bees and rodents? Whew, really glad this porkulus bill is gonna pass.

Ray

Guys, guys… this mouse is VERY important, and also quite tasty when braised in garlic butter. 🙂

So how is the 30 mill going to be spent? Are they importing gerbils to the gay community, so they will leave them alone? (Sorry I just had to say that)

UpNorth

LOL Nucsnipe, gerbils for gays, houses and jobs for those who won’t work, won’t make payments, tax bills for those who do.

Great….before it was skin color that you all judged by…now its sexuality.
How expected.

Wow, here’s our latest lefty Obamabot troll playing both the race card and the queer card, which is typical deflection from the issues because SD has no clue of said issues, only “warm fuzzies” towards his “Awesomeness”! 😆

Nucsnipe

Hey SD when you appeared in the new PETA commercial did you do it for free, or did they pay for drycleaning your white dress and hat?

Southern Democrat

Rochester vet…it was your avid readers that took a discussion about Pelosi’s 30 million as a chance to make a gay joke. I simply commented that it was expected someone would pull a hateful comment out. Not even your die hard gop readers can stay on topic…

rochester_veteran

I’m not a Republican, dude and Pelosi’s $30 million pork injection into the Porkulus package is a wasteful expenditure of taxpayer money, thus deserving of the derision it’s getting on this blog, a conservative milblog. Pelosi’s earmark pork is definitely gay…

Frankly Opinionated

Southern Dhimmicrat:
Surely you read the HuffnPuff post. Now, with that said, tell us again about how we talk. “Dumbocrat “Underground”, “HuffnPuff”, “Code Pink” and the other lib sites are the benchmark for such shit as you are accusing us of. And, Race? Obama was not elected “in spite of being black”. He was elected because he is black. Now who is racist? No white guy with as little going for him as Obummer would have even gotten past a few local primaries. You lib/Dems who thought up the flaky idea that is “Affirmative Action” are the racists. With Affirmative Action, you pompous asses tell black people: “We know you aren’t as good as us, so we’ll give you a leg up.”. And then they got on with saving some damned rodent. Take a hike, Mike!
