Mitch McConnell has brought you a mighty pig!

Remember how John McCain wanted to focus his campaign on the relatively unimportant and "who gives a shit" issue of earmarks? How he never asked for one (BS) and how he was against all of them (BS, aid to Israel is an earmark) and that we should all be mad about science and public works being done this way to the tune of 1/100th of a percent of the budget? Mitch McConnell didn't get the message, and with polls showing the Senate Minority Leader tied, he's tacking a different message: "I am the pork king, elect me and we will all fuck on mountains of bacon. This other guy won't be able to steal money for you as efficiently as I do. All hail the pig, I bring him to you in chains! Devour!"

Senator Mitch McConnell has certainly delivered for this western Kentucky community, where an esplanade called McConnell Plaza wends along the Ohio River waterfront, which is being spruced up with government help.

At a time when home-state projects sought by lawmakers are being condemned by Senator John McCain and others, Mr. McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, boasts in a series of campaign advertisements about how he has showered federal money on towns, airports and universities in Kentucky, like the nearly $60 million he won for the face-lift for downtown Owensboro.

Contrary to McCain's thesis people like it when politicians grift shit for their community, they're only mildly annoyed when stuff goes elsewhere. That why McConnell, who has all the charisma of a thrice convicted pedophile, has been keeping things close with his plea that the money orgy stops if the Democrat gets elected. Because being a Democrat who took down the Minority Leader in a Democratic majority with a Democratic President is really going to be some sort of hindrance. But different strokes for different folks, I guess when you have nothing to run on, pointing at the Jack Daniels Expressway and yelling "I gots more where that comes from" is as good a strategy as any. But this is where we're at now, the prospect of Democratic Senator's from Kentucky. Thanks George, we couldn't have done it without you.
