The Louisiana Purchase is the nickname for some pork Mary Landrieu is alleged to have thrust into the bill in exchange for her vote. So now you know.
The guy was there at the signing of the Louisiana purchase. He knows how sleazy it was.
In his Fox interview yesterday, Obama explained it as reimbursement for states hit by extra medical costs from natural disasters, i.e, Katrina.
Fuckin' hurricane victims and their fuckin' goldbricking.
More like Bedpan Dome.
I think what McCain is talking about is how he really liked his dinner last night and he doesn't know what to have for dinner tonight because he can't stop thinking about his dinner from last night.
These ill-considered Expansionist Policies could mean the very Destruction of Our Republic, by thunder!
