Pelosi’s Mouse Pad
Jul 10, 2009 Political
When the stimulus was being rammed through Congress and down the throats of the taxpayers there was a concern about money going to repair or improve the habitat of some marsh mouse. I wrote about this and made the point that this is what happens when people do not read the bills and that it was not a stimulus bill but a shopping list.
The liberals were quick to point out that none of the money would go to the mouse’s habitat. It was not in the bill and that we were all liars who were trying to stand in the way of Obama’s mission to remake America. Each time the mouse was mentioned the liberals jumped in and said it was a lie and that the mouse was definitely not mentioned and that none of the money would be spent on that furry little creature. I made the point that the stimulus was so vague that as soon as it passed the mouse would get its new pad.
Well what do you know? There is news today that last week the Obama administration said as much as 16.1 million dollars will go to, what else, the salt marsh rodent.
The Obama administration revealed last week that as much as $16.1 million from the stimulus program is going to save the San Francisco Bay Area habitat of, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.
Republicans, who were accused of spreading untruths a few months ago were quick to respond to the news that they were right all along.
“Lo and behold, the government has announced that the mouse is getting its money after all,” House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, said, standing beside a poster of the furry varmint. “Speaker Pelosi must be so proud.”
So my liberal friends, those of you who said it was ridiculous to insinuate that the stimulus would be paying for this project, what are your feelings now? Will you admit that you were wrong or will you ignore the past and make excuses for the lie.
Stimulus for a salt marsh mouse. When I discussed it I was called all kinds of names and people claimed I was making this up, I was delusional and that it was pathetic to see Republicans spreading lies about the stimulus.
Looks like the concern of that time was quite valid. Even though Pelosi denied it, here it is.
Will you people in her district in California wake up and get rid of her?
