Bizarro Saxby

Senator Chambliss included two interesting quotes in his weekly email newsletter. The first relates to HR 4213, the extension of unemployment benefits. “During a time of economic hardship, I don’t believe we should allow provisions such as the extension of emergency unemployment benefits to expire.” The second relates to the financial regulatory bill. “While the issues our economy has faced over the past two years have made it obvious that Congress needs to apply more regulation to large Wall Street firms..”

Translation of these two items: “Hey, I’m Saxby Chambliss. While I normally don’t care about the ‘small people,’ I’ve been reading a lot of polls that says it’s good in these hard economic times to pretend that you do.”
