The right wing editorial board of the Washington Post is jumping on the pork bandwagon and pushing the bulk of the blame to Bush, even referring to his lack of vetoes as "cowardly." I agree that Bush loves to spend even more than any Democrat ever dreamed of spending, but the Post seems content to pass the buck on this one. We've been hearing for years from the entire GOP about how responsible they were or they could be if given the chance. Well, they've had their chance running Congress and since 200 even the White House and it's pretty clear that the whole lot of them are a out-of-control spenders.
It's the 1950s all over again, when the GOP talked the talk about cutting spending but they just can't and won't walk the walk. Sure Bush is a coward, but I'm not very interested in listening to the whining and complaining from the rest of the GOP because they've been active participants in creating this feeding frenzy. They have not shown an ounce of restraint when all of this was playing out so let's not hear about any outrage now because it's too late. The entire GOP has been the creators of this mess, not just Bush so it's time to quite their whining and quit running from the bloated pig that they created. The GOP as a group made the mess and now the GOP as a group owns it.
