Reading a right wing blog, I see this take on the disaster aid bill:

A bill to replenish FEMA’s depleted coffers failed to advance in the Senate last night, and of course the Democrats and their media shills are decrying “partisan politics.”

…snip…

the crybabies fail to note that the House has already approved a FEMA funding bill, and it’s that bill which Senate Democrats won’t advance.

Why? Because it funds FEMA by eliminating a bunch of boondoggle electric car and green energy subsidy programs, that’s why. Think Solyndra, only on a nationwide scale. But the radical greenies won’t stand for even one of their pet projects being exposed as yet another ineffective waste of taxpayer dollars. So preening Gaia-worshipping ecowarriors and their Chevy Volt smugmobiles trump disaster assistance for average middle class New Jerseyans.

Who are the real “pawns” here?

Smugmobiles?
