They haven’t passed a budget for 798 days, but today the Senate voted to give President Walking Eagle (and any other wanker that follows him) more czar power via the S. 679, the “Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011“. Not only is this an abdication of their oversight responsibilities, but they have effectively allowed this and any president the ability to add to the taxpayer burden in the form of salaries and benefits for these cling-ons.
Though it doesn’t stand a chance of passing the House, the bill passed with help from the following RINOs:
Lamar Alexander, TN
John Barrasso, WY
Roy Blunt, MO
Scott Brown, MA
Thad Cochran, MS
Susan Collins, ME
Bob Corker, TN
John Cornyn, TX
Michael Enzi, WY
Lindsey Graham, SC
John Hoeven, ND
Kay Hutchison, TX
Mike Johanns, NE
Mark Kirk, IL
Jon Kyl, AZ
Richard Lugar, IN
John McCain, AZ
Mitch McConnell, KY
Lisa Murkowski, AK
Robert Portman, OH
Pat Roberts, KS
Jefferson Sessions, AL
Richard Shelby, AL
Olympia Snowe, ME
John Thune, SD
Patrick Toomey, PA
Roger Wicker, MS
Lots of familiar faces; faces that need to be sent back to obscurity during their next election cycle.
