Q. Speaking of pig flatulence, what is our political leadership in Washington doing about the deficit problem?
A. Both the Democrats and the Bush White House are setting aside their partisan differences and working together on a courageous, long-term solution to the looming financial crisis, even if this requires them to make unpopular decisions in the short term.
Q. Ha ha! Seriously, what are they doing?
A. They’re being total slime-weasels. They’re spending MORE. They’re pandering their brains out. The Republicans just added a hugely expensive new drug benefit for senior citizens, which the Democrats have bitterly criticized because it isn’t expensive ENOUGH.
I believe he has captured the essence of it.
