Sure, I realize right-wing bloggers think the Obama administration is some kind of reckless spending machine, so they're inclined to believe the worst. But $1.19 million on just two pounds of ham? That didn't strike conservatives as implausible? Maybe something that warrants a closer look before publication?

Or maybe they just don't care... if the headline works to fire up the simpletons the facts will never make it through the BS.

The whole far right wingnut part of the party has turned into liars... as evidenced on this thread.

>> claimed that the Obama administration had spent, among other things, $1.19 million on two pounds of ham.

Drudge never made such a claim; I read the article late the night before and it was obviously not suggesting this.

It did, however, point out that the same product could have been bought for less money at a grocery store.
