House Republicans are challenging Speaker Nancy Pelosi's claim that the massive stimulus spending bill contains no pet projects after uncovering in the bill more than $30 million for wetlands conservation in her San Francisco Bay area district, including work she previously championed to protect the salt marsh harvest mouse.

“It certainly doesn’t sound like it will create or save American jobs,” he said. “So can Speaker Pelosi explain exactly how we will improve the American economy by helping the adorable little” critter?
A spokesman for Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat, said the claim was “fabricated” by Republicans.
“The speaker nor her staff have had any involvement in this initiative. This is yet another contrived partisan attack,” Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said. “Restoration is key to economic activity including farming, fisheries, recreation, and clean water.”
Well, I think we can ALL agree that no amount of money is too much to spend to save the Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse, whatever that is.
LOL. That is jobs Mr Uncompassionate conservative. It may take a few years, like 5 yrs to work, but it’s jobs, and investments.
The MSM did not report the content of this bill to the public.
Most common sense Americans would oppose it, if they cared enough to find out what was in it.
One RAT saving another!
Good one!
Usually this kind of pork means a rich lawyer friend of Pelosi will be paid $millions not to develop their private ranches. Land they had no intention to develop anyway.
Nice
Of course it wasn’t. It’s created for just the opposite.
They render your land useless.
Pelosi- the Mouse that roars
Give all those mice partial birth abortions, Nan.
Okay, somebody needs to tell Gere they’re endangered.
So, I can go set my cat loose in that field, kill all the marsh mice, and save the country $30Million?
SF is mouse rich. Send in the cats!
That woman is totally unbelieveable. What a clown she is.
This makes me froth at the mind.
Honestly, Pelosi is a pig. Except a pig isn’t responsible for it’s filth, and Pelosi is guilty.
This baby-killing phony so-called Catholic is an embarrassment to womanhood. She is a disgrace to Congress. I cannot express how much I despise her. I hope she sees herself, someday, the way she really looks.
Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the cats of war.
I can see saving polar bears and penguins but saving vermin??? A filthy little disease bearing mouse???
It’s all about saving RATS, isn’t it?
