Fickle Felger Flounders On WEEI

Filling in for Dino, Felger said so many stupid things on Friday that I considered registering shutfelgerup.com. Felger loves to proclaim what a moderate he is, as if that is something about which he should be proud, but he sure was channeling Iggy with some serious na na na na na action. Speaking of our fine flustered friend, he was not to be outdone.

When Gerry was ridiculing the twenty-two million dollars for the Ted Kennedy library that was in the "economic stimulus" package, Iggy actually said "its only twenty-two million dollars out of billions!" He then threw out his own na na na na na, saying that at least it wasn't as bad as the 165 million dollars in AIG bonuses. Oh Iggy, you are so predictable. You're the kid who gets caught stealing from the candy store and whines that everyone else is doing something worse.

Let's put aside the fact that as Gerry pointed out, AIG was contractually obligated to pay the bonuses, and that your Democrat friends where well aware that they were coming due (hell Chris Dodd admitted it), and that they could have tried to do something about them before they were paid. Let's assume that it was just a gross misuse of 165 million taxpayer dollars. That doesn't justify the misuse of twenty-two million taxpayer dollars to pay for a library that will honor a politician. Especially one who's actions in addition to killing Mary Jo Kopeckne, have aided and abetted the deaths of millions of unborn children.

Later in the show, Gerry was sounding off about the attempts to grow the "volunteer" Americorps when Iggy jumped in with "they do some good things" and "they're in the community educating people". Again, let's put aside the fact there is absolutely no constitutional basis for the organization to exist and be funded with taxpayer dollars. One man's "educating" is another man's "indoctrinating".

As a Jew, Iggy of all people should be wary of such organizations. The Nazi Brownshirts of the 1920's and 1930's did some good things too. They established soup kitchens for the unemployed, provided them shelters, and organized athletic contests - the bait. They also spent a lot of time in the community educating people. They educated people about how Jews were responsible for all of Germany's problems, and how Hitler was going to change things - the hook. Of course, they were never specific about how Hitler would bring this change about. Sound familiar Iggy?
