re: #56 yma o hyd

Oh?
Was he told there wouldn’t be any rent-a-crowd this time, because they’re all desperately looking for real work?
Did Air Force One run out of kerosene?
Did the plaster columns ahve to be given back to Hollywood?

Or is he perhaps - just tired?

Nope, he was embarrassed by the bill and wanted as little press as possible. He did use the occasion to promote the new earmark policy I just posted. I’d rather had him veto the damn thing even at the risk of pissing off both sides. If he really gets his reforms passed, I’ll let him slide, but no has stopped the pork train and many have tried.
