Give It Up For The Dog Pound
By Kleinheider Posted on September 28, 2008 at 4:41 pmJon Wright is glad the Blue Dogs are looking out for us during this financial crisis:
The Blue Dogs are really good to have around on an issue like this, and I might even say they’re the ideal people to look to here for leadership — representatives of the conservative taxpayer who nonetheless recognize that doing nothing isn’t an option, and aren’t inflexibly bound by a rigid dogma that retards their ideas.
If only they weren’t so often god-awful on issues of war and human rights.
