The concepts of “ill-gotten gains” and “wages of sin” don’t seem to intrude on their thinking. While complaining about how tainted the money is, they scoop it up by the bucketful, and go back for more.

My Congresscritter, the “Chumuckla Chucklehead “, Jeff Miller rails against the “pork” in the budget that just passed, and then talks about the money he earmarked for his his district. The largest earmark was a half million dollars to be given to the Okaloosa County Sheriff, who is under Federal indictment, and the Sheriff’s technology division, which is looking for a new head as the current head was just fired and may be facing state criminal charges. I assume it was a vital program to improve buying first class tickets to Vegas over the Internet.

…my own Congressman, Greg Walden, can do State Senator Gaetz one better, even though Walden is a mere member of the US House of Representatives and not a US Senator. He cast a vote as part of that solid Republican block against the stimulus package in the House and then immediately followed up, without much in the way of apology or expression of any particular sense of irony, by diving headlong into that nasty socialistic Democratic-created deficit-busting cesspool – elbows swinging like a good post man coming up with a hotly contested rebound – to make sure that his Congressional district got at least its own fair share of “the goodies”.

I’m not bothered as much by the obvious operating assumption by people like Gaetz and Walden that voters are stupid as I am by the on-going evidence that they are right…
