A Wisconsin voter from House Appropriations Committee Chairman David R. Obey's district says he was "ranted at" and "bullied" when he asked the Democratic congressman's aide about a Washington Times report. The report said national parks got more than $2 billion in the stimulus bill, and Mr. Obey's son is the chief lobbyist for the National Parks Conservation Association.Gee, Nielsen must feel like liberals calling into Charlie's program.
"He just kept ranting that it is a bunch of lies," said Gerald Nielsen, 45, a utility worker in Cadott, Wis. "He wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. ... He was trying to bully me."
I, for one, welcome our new overlords. How dare he question them?
Inspired by Jessica McBride's creative use of language, to wit:
"Good for Mark Green... whallah, by midday Doyle was following his lead...." Committed to the monitoring of the local right-wing media and exposing their lies, hypocrisies, and foibles, so that you don't have to.
