Dissent is the Highest Form of…Something. I Forget Now.
It’s not personal, Senator Kyl, it’s just business.
The White House on Tuesday released letters from four cabinet secretaries to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, citing Kyl’s comments and outlining transportation, housing, Indian education and other projects in his home state they said would be eliminated if the senator has his way…
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, one of two Republicans in Obama’s cabinet, made no attempt to conceal his needling.
Kyl “publicly questioned whether the stimulus is working and stated that he wants to cancel projects that aren’t presently under way,” LaHood wrote Brewer. “If you prefer to forfeit the money we are making available to your state, as Senator Kyl suggests, please let me know.”
Well, we can’t have people publicly questioning the President can we? Why then we’d get all uppity and start demanding stuff like transparency and accountability.
The Senator should probably count his lucky stars that he doesn’t own a prized racehorse.
