John McCain visited the set of Fox and Friends and showed us that Rush Limbaugh still rules the roost even with ex-Presidential candidates. He also claims that President Obama hasn't addressed Republicans concerns over the stimulus package even though he's given way more than George Bush would have ever thought about doing in an effort to appease them and making concessions on the bill. McCain and the rest of the GOP are going to obstruct and stomp their feet and say it's my way or the highway until the public has finally had a belly full of them and speaks up. After what we watched with Bill Clinton, did we expect anything less?

I'd like to know just how many times during Bush's term in office these hacks in the media ever talked about fiscal responsibility. I can think of none.

One of the funnier Word segments I've seen from Stephen in a while now. He rips up the House Republicans for voting against the stimulus bill in a way only he can.

Last night---last night's party line vote was a great start for the 111th Congress. But these hard times demand an even larger meaningless gesture. That is why I am calling on every Republican who voted against this bill to put no money where your mouth is. Refuse to accept a single penny of the eight hundred billion dollars for your Congressional district.

Think of it---think of it---think of it like a hunger strike. Then---then just sit back and watch in glee as the Democrats face the wrath of their constituents suffering as the eight hundred billion dollars tears through their districts like a force five cash-o-cane.

It won't be easy but you are fighting for a principle. If we can't have a perfect bill to stimulate the economy you'd rather have no economy at all. And that's the Word.
