Roll the the tape:

Permit me to correct the Senior Senator for NY.
RedState: Conservative News and Community — Who is, by the way, up for re-election next year: If there is a time where the American people “really don’t care” about pork and corruption, it’s when times are good. Times are not good. Moe Lane PS: Not that he’d know. I don’t think this guy has actually worked for a living in decades. Crossposted to Moe Lane. ...

Schumer: “The American people really don’t care” about pork; Obama: “The American people don’t need to be convinced;” Final passage vote: 61-37
Michelle Malkin — The Senate is about to pass the Turbaconducken stimulus package. Sen. Schumer took to the floor about 20 minutes ago to fear-monger. He referred shamelessly to the “economic 9/11″ and wagged his bony finger at Republican dissenters. “You lost,” Sen. Schumer sneered. Besides, he taunted, the “American people really don’t care” about all those “little tiny, yes, porky amendments” that the “chattering classes” have exposed: Sixteen seconds packed with trademark liberal contempt, self-delusion, and oily arrogance. Easy to claim the American people “don’t care” when your voicemail and e-mailboxes are clogged with messages that will never be heard or read before the next rush to ...

Dems Flat Out Admit They Think We Don’t Care About Pork Spending
Flopping Aces — Um, yeah…we do. It’s why Republicans got voted out of office, and anyone who thinks differently will be voted out as well. Moreover, President Obama said he cares, and doesn’t want any pork in the stim bill. He said last night there IS NO PORK in it. Is Chuck Schumer telling us President Obama lied? ...

Video: Schumer says no one cares about pork
Hot Air » Top Picks — Video: Schumer says no one cares about pork posted at 2:13 pm on February 10, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly The worst part? He’s probably right: And let me say this, to all of the chattering class, that so much focuses on those little, tiny — yes, porky — amendments: The American people really don’t care. Let’s recall the “tiny” amendments added already to Porkulus, as provided by Tom Coburn — and this is by no means a complete list: Reporting this kind of pork used to be called speaking Truth to Power.  Now it’s just called speaking Truth to Apathy, at least according to Uncle Chuck.

Comment Of The Day, By CPLViper: A Warning To The U.S. House Of Representatives
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Message to the US House of Representatives: By CPLViper Kill this bill. You are at the point where the American citizens are actually preparing to come to DC to tar, feather and run you out of town on a rail. If this bill passes I think a million or so people with pitch forks and torches just might show up on the Capitol’s doorstep with your permanent pink slips. Forget what Schumer thinks about pork in the bill, what the public doesn’t buy is the crying of “Wolf!” after the last $700 Billion you idiots wasted. You want to “give” us money … TAKE LESS OF IT! You ...

Charles Schumer: Nobody Cares About Pork
Say Anything — If you say so, Chuck. And let me say this, to all of the chattering class, that so much focuses on those little, tiny — yes, porky — amendments: The American people really don’t care. Maybe when you’re a member of the political elite in charge of the nation’s massive budget you lose perspective of what is and is not tiny, but I’m looking at the list of pork projects included in the “stimulus” and they don’t see so tiny to me.  Here’s one list Ed Morrissey put together: $2 billion earmark for FutureGen ...

Thanks for letting us know so early on in your administration, Mr. President.

'Who Keeps Voting This Schmuck Back Into Office?'
JammieWearingFool — [image] Who keeps voting for this schmuck ? The people of New York, of course. They have a chance to correct their mistake come 2010, but somehow I doubt they'll be bright enough. Sen. Charles Schumer came under fire yesterday after saying on the Senate floor that "the American people really don't care" about unrelated spending items that were tacked onto the economic stimulus bill. "Let me say this to all of the chattering class that so much focuses on those little, tiny, yes, porky amendments: the American people really don't care," Schumer said. "The American people care far more that there's a proposal in the bill, this one I pushed, that gives kids a $2,500 ...

Chuck Schumer Is An Idiot
Wizbang — Chuck Schumer has done it. He's proven that he is the most arrogant individual on the planet. His head has gotten so big he'll need a shopping cart to help him roll it around the capitol. What a pathetic man, devoid of rational thought. Does he really think that we "don't care" about billions of dollars in pet projects stuffed into a bill designed around a leftist agenda? Or does he think we are just dupes. Even the resident liberals should be offended by this.

Loads Of Pork For Schmucky Schumer - With Video
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Michelle Malkin: 1,500 bags of pork rinds for Schmucky Last week, I noted Kentucky radio talk show host Leland Conway’s campaign to send Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer bags of pork rinds in response to his arrogant claim that Americans don’t care about the pork in the trillion-dollar-porkulus. Guess what? Conway’s call produced a mountain — an estimated 1,500 pork rind bags that will be packed up and delivered to the Schmuckster’s office. Yes, they care … UPDATE: The pork rinds were delivered to Schumer’s office … No reply from Schmucky ...

Schumer Vomits On Rotten Stimulus Pork
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — Guess you should have read the damn thing, huh, Chucky? Crain’s New York Business: [ … ] Sen. Schumer has pledged to undo a provision included in the stimulus package that will make it nearly impossible for New York’s banks to hire foreign workers through the H-1B visa program. The amendment to the stimulus bill, proposed by Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Chuck Grassley, D-Iowa, originally would have banned the visas for any company that received money from the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP. A compromise lifted the ban, but companies will still be required to hire from the growing pool of ...

Everything you need to know about AIG, bailouts, and bonuses
Wizbang — FoxBusiness is currently featuring this graphic, courtesy of OpenSecrets.org: AIG_Recipients.jpg There's more on the AIG-Dodd story over at PoliGazette , where blogger Michael Merritt notes that the actual amount of money received by Dodd from lobbyists, PACs, executives, employees, or families of people affiliated with AIG (corporations themselves rarely make official campaign donations) could be as much as $148,000 or more.

Senator Chuck Schumer: pandemic funding ‘little porky things.*’
RedState: Conservative News and Community — Back in the day, Senator Schumer bragged about removing the funding, in fact. He thought that it was “bipartisan.” He said the compromise hammered out between Senate Democrats and moderate Republicans - which has enough support to get it past any threat of a filibuster - was far better than that passed by the House on Jan. 29. “All those little porky things that the House put in, the money for the [National] Mall or the sexually transmitted diseases or the flu pandemic, they’re all out,” Schumer said.

Higher unemployment with Obama's centibillion stimulus
Sound Politics — Higher unemployment with Obama's centibillion stimulus Obama and the Democrats told us that his porky "recovery plan" would reduce the climb in unemployment. To be sure we understood they produced a graphic showing how unemployment would be lower if we accepted his $787 billion in pork spending. How have we fared? Obama promised that his spending would keep unemployment below 8 per cent. It went above 8 in February, above 9 in May and is now above 9.5. Here is Obama's projection in blue overlayed with the actual unemployment numbers in red from Innocent Bystanders .
