In case you needed a reminder that Bush thinks you're an incredibly dense, blockheaded moron:WASHINGTON -Gee, thanks Prezint Signingstatement McNoVeto! We certainly wouldn't want anything pushed on the American people without debate, would we?
President Bush said Saturday that his administration will outline a series of changes that would clamp down on the common Capitol Hill practice of slipping pet projects into spending bills.
These projects, called earmarks, are spending provisions that often are put into bills at the last minute, so they never get debated or discussed, Bush said in his weekly radio address.
"It is not surprising that this often leads to unnecessary federal spending, such as a swimming pool or a teapot museum tucked into a big spending bill," he said.
And I've got your unnecessary federal spending right here, asshole.
He really does think that no one pays the slightest attention to anything, doesn't he?
UPDATE: 31, 709 earmarks later...
