Socialist Bunk or Conservative Trickery?

By Auntie Roo

It seems that Senate Republicans' answer to the skyrocketing price of gasoline, the "Put $100 on the Dresser to Drill in ANWR Proposal", is going over like a lead balloon.

From the New York Times:

Aides for several Republican senators reported a surge of calls and e-mail messages from constituents ridiculing the rebate as a paltry and transparent effort to pander to voters before the midterm elections in November.

Even the Kool-Aid Kids weren't happy campers about the proposed rebate.

Conservative talk radio hosts have been particularly vocal. "What kind of insult is this?" Rush Limbaugh asked on his radio program on Friday. "Instead of buying us off and treating us like we're a bunch of whores, just solve the problem." In commentary on Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume called the idea "silly."

Perhaps Rush feels that $100 isn't quite enough for his services?

And won't Dear Leader be heartbroken to be treated this way on Loyalty Day?
Heh I thought everyone knew it was Loyalty Day?
