No More Steny! No More Joe! Name That PAC!
Posted in: Uncategorized
The Democrats are getting ready to sell us down the river.
Again.
Having failed to do anything they were elected to do in 2006, they managed to do one thing right — not pass retroactive immunity for the telecoms. But according to CQ and The Hill, Steny Hoyer has brokered a deal and entered into an agreement with the White House and the GOP that effectively gives the telecoms everything they want, with a nice bit of kabuki for a screen.
Unacceptable.
As Glenzilla teases at here, we’re going to be forming a new organization to target elected officials who have become more responsive to K Street money than their constituents. First up? Steny Hoyer and everybody’s favorite…Joe Lieberman. This election is not going to be 2006 all over again. We learned our lesson.
Anyway, we’re looking for a name for the organization, something that is short and pithy and lets people know that we’re there to hold politicians accountable.
And we’re taking suggestions in the commments. If we pick your idea you’ll win a copy of Matt Taibbi’s Great Derangement, which — if you missed Saturday’s book salon (and Taibbi’s flame war in the comments with a 9/11 Truther) — is da bomb.
