Here you go:

let's take a true American hero and Congressman from Minnesota's fightin' First district, Tim Walz. He voted against pay raises and returns his (from 1/15/2008): Freshman Representative Tim Walz announced today that as part of his pledge to return fiscal responsibility to the Congress, he will return an anticipated 2008 pay raise to the U.S. Treasury. Members of Congress are scheduled to receive a 2008 Cost of Living Adjustment this month, which will raise their pay 2.5 percent. Unless the Congress votes to block the COLA increase as they did in 2007, Members' annual salaries will increase by $4,130, from $165,200 to $169,300 "I am committed to fiscal responsibility and to changing the way Washington works," said Rep. Walz. "The reinstatement of pay-as-you-go budgeting has finally put this country back on the right track towards a balanced budget, but until we reach that milestone I will refuse any pay increase." "I came here to change our priorities in Washington . I don't think it's fair for Congress to give itself a pay raise when it can't stick to a budget," said Walz. "I made a promise to the people of southern Minnesota, and I intend to keep it." If Walz can do it, why can't (Bachmann?)

Why can't Bachmann? It's not she can't, it's that she won't. She doesn't have to, because her millions of her supporters are hypocritical conservative proto-fascist pricks. They won't hold it against her for a split-second, that she's keeping the taxpayer dough even as a Dem colleague is returning it.

That doesn't embarrass her or her supporters for a mili-vanilli-second, are you kidding me? Bachmann's career of lies and hypocrisy and smears rests on the bedrock of "It's Okay If You're A Republican." Her career is a story of IOKIYAR to the tenth power!

The shocking news would be if one of her countless fans on the right did publicly criticize her on the hypocrisy issue here (denouncing federal deficit spending while accepting pay increases and farm subsidies.) That would an "O. Henry twist" here, that no could expect or see coming.

But it ain't gonna come. There ain't no traditional media news story about all the Republican politicians and activists who are currently receiving regular largesse from a government that is "living beyond its means," according to them.

I would like to see that story on the cover of Time or Newsweek before they go out of business. I would like to see that web page: I'd like to see it topping Justin Bieber's website for hits, in the month before the election.

Why can't Michele Bachmann return the government aid she's getting, just like Democrat Walz returning the federal money he says he shouldn't accept? Because she's a goddam hypocrite; as are her supporters, as are conservatives, as are all the little greedheads who take the government money but bitch about the size of government.
