   Snyder is an old Democrat flack

   And just what is the sense of having power and connections unless you can milk it?

   No surprise, considering Rendell is nothing more than an old-school political hack himself. Does Democrats stimulating themselves with government money become a form of political masturbation?

   Kudos!!
   Rim shot!!

   Except, of course, the socialists are not strictly practicing “self-abuse”; it is we the taxpayers whom they are hosing.

   it is important to educate the public about where the recovery dollars are working in the commonwealth

   So, tell us which suite is the best at The Wynn in Las Vegas. I’m sure that’s where you’ll start your public information tour?

   Yes. Especially when watching the Obama November acceptance speech on video.

    True.

    Oh, I think the public knows…vaguely…when we are being screwed. When we are being screwed on this level, we are pretty aware.

    Nice work if you can get it…

    I can picture Snyder singing the complete Gershwin lyrical ending refrain:

    Nice work if you can get it
    And you can get it — if you try
    Who could ask for anything more?

    Yep.
    As I’ve said a number of times before, socialists understand only money, sex, and power…which to them are actually just different manifestations of the same thing.

    $100,000 plus to tell people how good the stimulus is…lol. Politicians deserve their low-life reputation. Spending money that isnt theirs to begin with, to pad the bank accounts of friends. God, this type of corruption sickens me. And of course, nothing will be done about it.

    fixed.

    Spending money that isnt theirs to begin with, to pad the bank accounts of family and friends.
    

    That is the biggest plank in the career politician’s platform.

    I saw this in the paper already. Rendell is the same guy who reconfigured the PA Liquor Control Board by firing the one guy who was running the show for about $100,000 and replacing him with THREE Rendell cronies who make about $150,000/EACH! Obama and Rendell are birds of the same ruffled feather.

    Now and then I’ve mentioned the wonderful BBC series from ~25 years ago, “Yes Minister”, and “Yes, Prime Minister.”

    Very funny, but also very accurate in their depiction of bureaucrats, politicians, and administrators.

    Hell, the central “department” is the “Ministry of Administrative Affairs!”

    It clearly illustrates the “Peter Principle” – rising to the level of one’s incompetence.

    From various episodes:

    Senior bureaucrats, over brandy at the club, are explaining to their junior why open governemnt is an impossibility: “My dear boy, it is a contradiction in terms; you can be open or you can have government.”

    “If people don’t know what you’re doing, they don’t know what you’re doing wrong.”

    And:
    Sir Arnold explains to Bernard the law of inverse relevance: “The less you intend to do about something, the more you have to keep talking about it.” Bernard learns that just because his Minister asks him to do something, it may not be in the department’s best interests to carry out his wishes.

    Ah, yes. I enjoyed that show very much when it ran on PBS (Purely British System ) back in the 80s!

    One of the few reasons I used to watch PBS was its dedication of bringing British programing to us, before BBC America : )

    Government stimulus most often, if not always, stimulates more government. And more government inevitably destroys individual liberty even when that is not the intended outcome, although increasingly the destruction of individual liberty appears to be the major intent of such action especially over the past several years.

    The only difference between the GOP and the Democrats in this regard is the rate at which government grows and individual liberty is destroyed.
