Relief for New Jersey.
Once upon a time people used to house train their dogs by rubbing their noses in their own poop. I think that was cruelty to animals...but it may just be necessary for some politicians.
Watch Lindsey Graham squirm as he asks for federal disaster relief for South Carolina, and then Wolf Blitzer rubs his nose in the pile of poop he left in New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
It's amazing. Graham starts out by saying "Let's not worry about the price tag, let's just get some federal relief for SC." Then Blitzer reminds him that he voted against federal relief for NJ, and he says "I don't recall whether I voted against federal relief for New Jersey or not. And if I did, I don't remember why." Later he releases a statement saying, basically..."Oh yeah, I voted against NJ relief because I was worried about the price tag. It had 'stuff' in it that I didn't like." Wow...what a twit.
I guess my main question is...given that Blitzer is about as smart as a bucket of Crisco, why is HE the only one that thinks to call these weasels on their hypocrisy?
PS: Incidentally, Graham is asking for $1billion. That's less than 1% of the $135billion that the U.S. taxpayers subsidized the frikkin/frakkin OIL COMPANIES that CREATED this global warming mess. Why not claw back some of THAT money to clean up the mess they've created?

(6,821 posts)when you know full well and say later "We checked and you did vote against federal funding for NY and NJ". What the hell kind of fawning "journalist" are you? Never mind, we know the answer to that one.
