If the filibuster succeeds, it would be an embarrassment for President Bush (news - web sites) and Congress' Republican leaders. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) has defended the spending bill as "a titanic achievement in fiscal restraint" because it holds growth in discretionary spending to 3 percent.

Some more GOP doublespeak. We're supposed to think that holding growth to 3% is "titanically" good and forget that spending is growing faster than revenue and huge deficits are predicted for next year.

Of course, maybe if TX raised its standards, a bug exterminator would not be a Congressman and a would be cowboy President.

Stupid is as stupid does!

RE"Spending bill swells on diet of pork"

And Congress continues to give themselves a raise every year now for the last 4 or 5.

Talk about porkers.
