It's the last sentence that makes this art.

Paul Slams Christie on Spending

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) hit back at New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) in the two Republicans' ongoing spat over national security, the Washington Post reports.

Paul said Christie's position "hurts GOP chances in national elections, and that spending priorities of critics like the governor and Rep. Peter King (R-NY) do more to harm national security."

Said Paul: "They're precisely the same people who are unwilling to cut the spending, and their 'Gimme, gimme, gimme -- give me all my Sandy money now.' Those are the people who are bankrupting the government and not letting enough money be left over for national defense."

Wasted money is wasted money. Xenophobia at home is no better than xenophobia abroad.
