Some people have absolutely no shame. Take the senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, for example. I could not help but double up in raucus laughter the other day when I saw him on television yelling “look at this bill!, look at this bill!” while brandishing what I suppose was the current stimulus package that is going through the senate at the moment. Do these folks ever stop to think about the reaction of the public to their silly showmanship for a minute? Was this the same senator Graham who supported every bill George W. sent to the senate and even went on national television to support some of the most odious ones? Where was his outrage when billions of dollars were being wasted on a useless war? Where was he when billions of dollars were dolled out to billionaire farmers while many Americans were losing their jobs? Was he in this country when millions of dollars were allocated to stupid projects like the so-called bridge to nowhere? Oh, I know, a Republican president was in the White House then, so stupid and wasteful bills for stupid and wasteful expenditures were okay.

Now, her rants are about Obama’s gentle reminder to the media to abandon their obsession with the politics of division and Senator Hillary Clinton and focus more on what really matters to the American people. In this commentary, Ms. Brown apparently took umbrage at the President-Elect’s chiding of the press for trying to create unnecessary drama by dredging up the old campaign-era “hostilities” that existed between candidates Obama and Clinton.
