Leave it up to a Republican to restore sanity.

Senator John Kyl from Arizona has temporarily stopped the “Tax the Crap Out of Them” measure that the House of Representatives recently passed in a 328-93 vote [as an aside, the 85 Republicans who voted for this measure…just step down or switch your affiliation – thank you].

“I don’t believe that Congress should rush to pass yet another piece of hastily crafted legislation in this very toxic atmosphere, at least without understanding the facts and the potential unintended consequences,” Kyl was quoted as saying

Chris Dodd is a LIAR!

Chris Dodd (D-CT), the Senate Banking Committee Chair, finally admitted that he was the one responsible for the AIG bonus loophole language that had mysteriously appeared into the Stimulus Bill. Oh, he had excuses (more here and here), but they are irrelevant to one important fact. At first, he had told the American public that he had no idea how that language got into the bill.

Connecticut, you elected a liar, there is just no other way to put it. So, all of those who whined and threw your hissy-fit over the AIG bonuses, please direct your anger at Mr. Chris “Liar-Liar-Pants-On-Fire” Dodd. Thank you.

Now that we have established that he is a liar, everything he has said, and will say from now on, is suspect at best. He should, at least, be kicked off the Senate Banking Committee, at best, be impeached. Dishonesty is dishonesty. Democrats need to show that they have some principles.

Yeah, who am I kidding?
