Bush To Congress: Fuck You Deux

It looks like Shirky McShrugsalot has figured out another way to demonstrate he doesn't give a shit:

A House Appropriations Committee report accompanying legislation funding the Department of the Interior shows that Bush requested 93 of the 321 earmarks in the bill. A panel report for the financial services and general government spending bill showed that Bush requested 17 special projects worth $947 million, more than any single member of Congress.

Senate appropriators have identified more than 350 earmarks in the military construction spending bill requested by the president.

That's a lot of earmarks from someone who, only a few months ago, had this to say on the subject:

Earmarks often divert precious funds from vital priorities like national defense. And each year they cost the taxpayers billions of dollars.

And this:

And Congress needs to cut the number and cost of earmarks next year by at least half.

What's that? Executive privilege? Earmark reform only applies to the legislative branch? Douchehoundsayswhat? Well, never mind that. I've an award to present! Ahem.. now then..

For the brazen disregard of his own spoken words, we would like to present to you, Shirky, the official Shakesville Hairy Balls Of Hypocrisy award. Display them proudly as you already do, Mr. President!
