Woodstock Concert Museum:
D.C. Has Plenty of Money
So along comes U.S.A Today reporting that $1 Million in Federal Funds is available to help build a Woodstock Concert Museum:
Days after a Senate committee approved $1 million for a Woodstock concert museum, the project's Republican billionaire backer and his family contributed $29,200 to help the Democrats who requested the money, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charles Schumer.
It's neither illegal nor unusual for contributors to benefit from congressionally directed spending known as earmarks. But the timing of the June donations is grist for critics who see a link between legislative pet projects and campaign money.
"If you don't help their campaign, they're not going to be as friendly with the earmarks next time," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who will seek to amend a spending bill this week to redirect the Woodstock money to educate homeless children.
[...]
The New York senators put their names jointly on all their earmark requests, but Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines said that this one came through Schumer's office. Of the donations, he said, "One thing had nothing to do with the other."
Has Cluck ever fully answered and accounted for his role when his staffers illegally obtained the Credit Report of Michael Steele? It all starts from the Top Down, as the Libs like to say about Bush. Funny how that doesn't apply to Cluck and his office staff illegally obtaining Steele's Credit Bureau Report .
Well, I'm sure Rev. Gisher and DaveAwayFromHome will no doubt think that $1 Million on a museum to honor unwashed, smelly, pot-smoking, trippin'-out-on-bad cid hippies is money well spent, right guys?
Earmarks? Geez, I thought the Dems promised to do away with those. Guess not. For once it's not about "the children," it's "for the aging hippies," and how can that possibly be bad or even remotely labelled Federal money stupidly spent?
