Consider this your evening dose of hilarity. From the man who brought you, “The War is Lost”, comes this latest bit of brilliance. Senator Harry Reid claims that the Founding Fathers would cringe at the thought of ditching pork.

“As we look back in history, the Founding Fathers would be cringing to hear people talking about eliminating earmarks,” Reid said, noting that the Founders dictated in the Constitution that all spending should originate in Congress, not the executive branch.

And apparently that “spending should originate in Congress” translates to “Congress shall spend tax payer dollars on pork projects to help their special interests”.

Oy vey.
