We’ve got trouble in River City. And the river is the Potomac. And the city is Washington, DC.
Looks like even leftwing puppets Jim Cramer and Chris Matthews are questioning the stimulus bill’s meager infrastructure spending.
“Take the infrastructure number. Do you know that it’s $30 billion for infrastructure for bridges?” Cramer queried. “The ‘Big Dig’ cost $22 billion…and it only put 5,000 to work…It’s not gonna put a lot of people to work.”
“Why in the world aren’t we doing what they said they were going to do – build bridges, factory jobs, replace the smell of decay with the smell of construction?” Matthews said.
Matthews went on to say other things — many other things, in fact — interrupting Cramer and other guests and complete strangers, but it was all so incoherent that we won’t bother quoting it here.
Hell, we’re still wondering what “the smell of construction” might be.

The smell of construction we'll get is probably the porta-potties.
Stop the presses . . . the liberal media is daring to do its job and question Obama? Mark this event down in history. // heavy sarcasm
