Yip yip yip yip yahoo! This is a pullout date. This is not funding the troops &#8212; and note, it\u2019s an election year in 2008. This is pure election year politics, which is what <emphasize>everything<\/emphasize> the Democrats are trying to drum up these days is all about. It took twenty-four <emphasize>billion<\/emphasize> in bribes and threats from the Office of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and her assistant, Steny Hoyer, in order to bring these Democrats in line. <emphasize>Epic <\/emphasize>war powers struggle? What\u2019s the headline? &#8216;House OKs Timetable for Troops in Iraq,\u2019 $24 billion in bribes and threats, 218-212. All of this &#8212; $24 billion in bribes and all these threats &#8212; got Pelosi a six-vote margin. I thought the Democrats were unified! Why, I thought these people were unified. This House is in disarray. <\/p>\n<p>They used to call Tom DeLay &#8216;The Hammer.\u2019 If this had happened with the parties reversed on any other issue, all we would be seeing today would not some &#8216;epic anti-war struggle,\u2019 epic this or epic that. We\u2019d see: &#8216;Tom DeLay, The Hammer, yanking on people\u2019s heads and chains and bashing them over the head and whipping them into line! It\u2019s Tom DeLay, The Hammer.\u2019 Well, if DeLay is The Hammer, then I proclaim a new title for the speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, today: The Briber. Nancy Pelosi had to bribe her members with spinach. There\u2019s $25 million for a single spinach farmer in this bill, and that\u2019s why I say that the liberals in the House 218-212 voted to fund spinach and not the soldiers. They\u2019re out there claiming now that these people are &#8216;patriotic.\u2019 This is a new definition of patriotism: <emphasize>funding spinach over the troops.<\/emphasize> It\u2019s spinach. It\u2019s not lettuce (those in Rio Linda may not know the difference), but this is a $24 billion dollars for all kinds of pork, among it $25 million for spinach. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This &#8216;epic,\u2019 as AP calls it, &#8216;epic war powers struggle,\u2019 is a pork bill.
