As if we needed any more proof (of the MSM’s complicity.)

[FlingWingFlyer]

Heidi doesn’t appear to be very bright. Perfect for CNN.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Paul Kane at The Washington Post points out that the bill is "leftover from last year's congressional agenda."

Oops, guess who controlled Congress last year, too?

[RC2]

It has nothing to do with President Bush. Look to Congress and replace them.

[ari-freedom]

“This is last year’s business. We want to just move on. Let’s get this bill done, get it into law and move forward.”

so put Bush back in the WH and tell him to sign it

[Myrddin]

The Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate for the last two years. The crap in those bills is their crap. They knew Bush wouldn't roll over for their spending spree. They held back until they could count on Obama's rubber stamp on anything they want.

Gotta give McLame a little nod here. before I was halfway through the article I had already said to myself - Regardless of who's albatross it is, wouldn't you want to be the Knight in White Armor and say "Wait - I am not signing this waste?"

Instead, we get Captain Party Animal who wants to say "Hey, it was not mine, so I'll sign it."

The class just keeps rolling off of these people...

I am feeling more and more stimulated every day...but not the way they want.

[Mike Bates]

You’re right. Just trying to document the MSM’s bias, mainly for those who sometimes have to give their doubting friends “examples.”

[Sgt_Schultze]

The omnibus bill is a resolution to the last of the spending authorization from the final Bush term. It is in Zero’s best interest to jack that number up as high as possible as it will allow him to inflate the Bush deficit to complain about. More importantly though, it provides a higher baseline for Zero’s budget to begin its growth, since federal budgeting is a last year cost plus shell game.

Heidi doesn’t appear to be very bright.

She does have other, more important for TV, attributes.

The Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate for the last two years.

Now you've let the cat out of the bag. That's supposed to be a top hush-hush secret. And will be if the MSM have their way.

[Mike Bates]

McCain’s doing better now than he was during his campaign. Still a RINO much of the time, but he occasionally trips into doing the right thing.

[Saltmeat]

If the bill is a holdover from the last administration, then when does the “change that we can believe in begin?

[MarkL]

Using undiscovered evidence, CNN has discovered that the administration's attacks on certain private citizens, like "Joe the Plumber" and Rush Limbaugh are actually "hold overs" from the Nixon administration's "enemies list."

[Terry Mross]

What difference does it make?

[PubliusMM]

Bull Puckey! The DhimmiRats own this, just like all the other bailout, over-spending, insane legislation since the election of the LibTard majority in the Congress.

It’s time to take back the country.

[Erik Latranyi]

Instead, we get Captain Party Animal who wants to say "Hey, it was not mine, so I'll sign it."

THAT is the other MSM failing.....Obama partying while the country's economy is in flames.

The MSM would NEVER, EVER let a Republican hold weekly parties in the White House while a recession was on!

[IrishPennant]

Agreed - we need to protest n front of the media!!!

[freekitty]

Poor babies... They are still trying to blame George W.
