I was all set to name Chuck Schumer the biggest idiot on Capitol Hill for his remarks on the stimulus bill this morning.<\/p>\n

Via Michelle Malkin<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Senate is about to pass the Turbaconducken stimulus package. Sen. Schumer took to the floor about 20 minutes ago to fear-monger. He referred shamelessly to the \u201ceconomic 9\/11\u2033 and wagged his bony finger at Republican dissenters.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou lost,\u201d Sen. Schumer sneered. Besides, he taunted, the \u201cAmerican people really don\u2019t care\u201d about all those \u201clittle tiny, yes, porky amendments\u201d that the \u201cchattering classes\u201d have exposed:<\/p>\n

Um, Chuck what the hell are you smoking? We most certainly do care about the pork barrel projects you idiots have larded up the so called stimulus package with… The simple truth is you guys don’t care what we, the great unwashed masses, think. This so called stimulus package is nothing more than 40 year wish list of democrat spending and policy priorities that you couldn’t get passed any other way. It’s 10 percent stimulus and 90 percent crap!<\/p>\n

Sen. Schumer’s idiocy pales in comparison to Arlen Specter’s however… Specter voted for the pork laden so called stimulus package even though he clearly has no idea what’s in it:<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Senator if the stimulus package really needed “more time for hearings” why on earth did you vote for it???<\/p>\n

God save us from these idiots!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
