Why the HELL are these two goons smiling?
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 05:38 AM by SoCalDem
Shame on Kent Conrad.. This is nothing to smile about



Senate Budget Committee Chairman Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND), (R), holds a copy of U.S. President Bush's FY 2009 Budget after receiving it from the Robert Tapella, Public Printer of the U.S., inside the Senate Budget Committee hearing room on Capitol Hill in Washington February 4, 2008

2. Ya gotta think like a republicon: bankrupting America is good

4. They might have
been smiling in that photo op but what Conrad had to say at their presser was far from cheerful.

5. Exactly...
If you saw Conrad's press conference on the budget you would be cheering. I'll see if I can find it.

8. It was great

10. The "paperless office" makes as much sense as a "paperless bathroom."
