#4 If I were a Pub congresscritter I'd call him on it. I'd show Bambi a little more of that vaunted, recent Pub unity and ensure that not a single Pub voted for the defense cuts. Bambi wants it, he gets the Donks to go along. All of them.

Would make 2010 very interesting.

To Ogabe, the only pork in the budget is in defense. In fact, in Ogabe world, defense is 100% pork.
