Of Mice And Men

David Frum and Ross Douthat wring their hands over GOP fecklessness. Ed Morrissey keeps up the moronic "Porkulus" meme. I’m sure Rush would approve:

The House did its job, as did most of the Republicans in the Senate, even while saying that they would support a real stimulus package.  Instead, Specter, Collins, and Snowe essentially stabbed their colleagues in the back — while Specter whined about the lack of debate on the bill, after he voted for cloture and an end to debate.

Morrissey thinks a package with more tax cuts (seriously?) and more short-term spending (although the proportion of short-term spending increased in the final bill) would have won bipartisan acclamation. Again: one wonders what universe he’s living in.
