a pick on J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ5) post.
It's been too long. I need my fix. This will be a short post though.
I was cruising through his House website, and found this little gem in his "News" section, under the headline "Congressman J.D. Hayworth Says "No Way" to Senate Version of Supplemental Budget Bill" (dated May 5, 2006):
"The U.S. Senate voted to authorize a total of $109 billion in spending -- $14
billion above the level requested by President Bush in the supplemental budget.
The president had asked Congress for $92.2 billion to fund the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan and hurricane relief."
Umm, JD? $109 billion - $92.2 billion = $16.8 billion. Not $14 billion.
Basic math, anyone?
"Re-elect JD Hayworth. Not the Education Congressman."*** Catchy slogan, doncha' think? LOL
And later in the same press release he announced that
"I will not support any budget that exceeds the president's request."
Umm2, JD. Just a reminder. You were elected to represent Arizona's 5th Congressional District, not George W. Bush.
***Note: this is not a cheap shot. Well, not toooo cheap. The only AZ congressman on the House Committee on Education and the Workforce is Rep. Raul Grijalva.

I'm not surprised Hayworth can't do basic math. Who else calls Canada a terrorist safe haven that threatens America?
Nice blog, I'll put you on my blogroll. 8)
Thanks!!
And don't underestimate the threat from Canada - they did loose Jon Stewart on America, who loosed Stephen Colbert, who in turn loosed some serious satire on the Washington press corps and Bush, pointing out the cozy (ok, lapdog) relationship between them and him, making all concerned very uncomfortable.
It may be terrorism twice-removed, but it's still terrorism nonetheless.
And remember, Canada also sicced Celine Dion on us. My ears still haven't recover.
LOL.
