Ding Dong The Bill Is Dead

Well, at least this turkey won't make it to Obama's desk:

Democrats controlling the Senate have abandoned a 1,924-page catchall spending measure that's laced with homestate pet projects known as earmarks and that would have provided another $158 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

They're doing everything they can to get some last slaps in at America before they leave. I say, run over the lame ducks and leave them quacking in the middle of the road. Jerks. Here's Rush's take:

I left the broadcast complex yesterday, and I was still fuming after yesterday's program, and I was driving home, and I was really putting in perspective what's happening here. We're witnessing, this is the hijacking of our country right in front of our eyes, with some Republican participation. The election results were clear. If we were a woman and the Congress were a man we're in the middle of being raped. We said "no" in November. And we're paying for it. We're paying to get raped. We said "no" in November, i.e., the election, we have said "no" at every opportunity, and yet they continue right in front of our eyes. They know it. They know. They waited specifically, as we discussed yesterday, strategically, timing-wise, they wouldn't dare try for any of this during the year prior to the election. They had this strategery all laid out and here we are in the last week or so, and they try to dump all of this stuff in.

Ohhhh...how I wish Harry Reid had been defeated. Thanks, Nevada, for sticking us with this idiot for six more years. What were you thinking?
