The great crew at TPM has now dug even deeper uncovering just what it was that the State of Alaska and it's reform-minded governor were asking for. The link to TPMMuckraker is here. The link to the State of Alaska's requests is here.
Apparently, it includes $3.2 million for seal genetics research among a slew of other things. I pick this out because TPM Muckraker contrasts this with John McCain:
"We're not going to spend $3 million of your tax dollars to study the DNA of bears in Montana," McCain said earlier this year, referring to a request from Montana for federal money to study the endangered grizzly bear. "I don't know if it was a paternity issue or criminal, but it was a waste of money."
It's amazing. You really have to wonder if Bill Clinton would have gotten away scot free with the "I did not inhale." line if Karl Rove had been his advisor. Hell, he might never have gotten impeached!
Lie. Lie. Lie. Repeat. Lie. Lie. Lie. Repeat.
Have at it! Truth! Truth! Truth! Repeat!
