The Blagojevich-Obama-Durbin earmark is the most expensive earmark ever. Max Boot on Afghanistan. A Democratic congresswoman “pocketed more than $200,000 of political contributions by charging as much as 18 percent interest on money she loaned to her own campaign.” A list of stimulus waste. And a breakdown of the stimulus. (But I repeat myself.) The RNC tries to help lovestruck Dems find the right words for the tinpot dictators in their lives. Yet another reason to love football.
