How classic is it that McConnell snuck a $2.9 billion earmark for KY into the the CR/Debt Limit bill?

This just cracks me up.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) struck a deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday, averting a potential debt default and reopening the government while leaving the Obamacare virtually untouched, once passed by Congress and signed by the president.

Though the deal comes with concessions from both parties, it also benefits McConnell’s home state of Kentucky.

Section 123 of the Senate bill secures $2.918 billion in funding for the Olmsted Lock and Dam Authority for a dam project on the Ohio River being developed by URS Corp., a construction management company.

Oh… the debt… ohh… the out of control spending….Oh my! Oh My! Teabags unite!! Circular firing squad assemble in the village green!!

Hilarious.
