Ok, it's Eric as in Cantor. Celebrating the Republicans' O votes in the House for the stimulus bill, Cantor sent out an e-mail championing the Republicans' stand on principle and accompanied by Aerosmith singing "We're Back in the Saddle Again". If it was an old Byrd's cover, then it would just be a cowboy song. But Cantor, who wanted a congressional investigation over the Janet Jackson breast pop-out at the Super Bowl years back, just happened to choose a song that celebrates anal sex with a guy's favorite prostitute. Not your most family value type of tune. To make matters worse, Aerosmith has complained and its music company is seeking damages for copyright infringement.
Eric also announced in Sunday that Republicans were totally opposed to any bailout of home owners by the Obama Administration because millions of homeowners are suffering from excessive real estate taxes.
The Chutzpah award this week goes to Sarah Palin. The Queen of the North is facing a $1.5 billion shortfall because of the drop in oil prices. Alaska depends on oil for 90% of its revenues.She told Fox News that Obama should veto the stimulus bill because it is filled with pork. Meanwhile, the Republican congress types have been telling the local papers what projects will be funded. Palin has been quietly lobbying Obama personally for federal funding of the Alaska-Canada oil pipeline, a subject that will be on the agenda for the summit between Harper and Obama on Thursday.
Exorcist Bobby Jindal, the Republican speaker to respond to Obama's State of the Nation address, also has a stimulus problem. He's seeking political cover by asking the Louisiana Legislature whether they want to accept the package.
South Carolina, home of Lindsey Graham, just passed today a state soverignty bill, asserting states rights. It's unclear what this will mean, if anything.
California is simply getting battered as the budget impasse continues.
