OK, this pissed me off just enough to bring me out of retirement.
Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), yesterday, talking about the stimulus:
For the first time in my life, I'm embarassed to be a member of this body.
Really? This is the first time? Coming from a six term congressman, who supported George W. Bush and his policies through thick and thin, that's really sad! And when you think it through one step further and realize that Mike Simpson and his support of Bush economic policies is partially to blame for the economic crisis we currently find ourselves in, it becomes downright infuriating!
He's embarassed by the Democrats' efforts to clean up the mess they inherited from George W. Bush and the Republicans? He's embarassed by their unwavering efforts at bipartisanship? WTF?
It's nice to know where your line is, Mikey. You have no shame.
