Iggy's Rants on Dennis and Callahan are Losing Their Edge

Iggy tried to regain his old form today, but his heart just wasn't in it. The Porkulus Bill came up for discussion again, and at first, he threw out the standard party line; we're in this mess because of Bush and the Republicans spending too much money. To be honest, he was actually somewhat accurate - for once. As I have stated before, the years of spending like drunken sailors to pander (predictably unsuccessfully) to liberals cost the Republicans a lot of cache with their base, and ultimately cost them power. Sorry Iggy, spending on the war does not count as a waste of money, because foreign wars are one of the few things on which the federal government is constitutionally allowed to spend, and dead Muslim fanatics are a bargain at any price.

Laying the blame solely on Republicans is at best, disingenuous. After all, we never heard Democrats stand up and scream about overspending did we? Did the Democrats attempt to scale back spending during the last two years of the Bush presidency when they controlled both houses of Congress? None of them ever complained about the $3,000,000.00 projector for the museum in Chicago for which Senator Obama asked, did they? Ultimately, even Iggy seems to have recognized the truth, and that is why he has lost his desire for battle.

He knows that it was people like Obama, Dodd and Frank who caused the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac housing crisis. In his heart, he knows that spending hundreds of billions of dollars on pork when we've already spent ourselves into trouble makes as much sense as getting a ride home from Ted Kennedy on New Year's Eve. Obama, the Democrats and the Rinos are pissing in our faces, and even Iggy can't bring himself to say its just raining. It's almost as if he finally has turned away from the dark side. It's almost as if, dare I say it . . .
