A Capitol Hill struggle over energy assistance to low-income families has pitted the Bay State's junior senator against its governor, both of whom have at least one eye on the Oval Office.
When Senate Republican leaders last week scuttled a plan to fund the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program -- known as LIHEAP -- through a defense bill, Senator John F. Kerry accused the GOP of leaving American families ''out in the cold."
Governor Mitt Romney arrived in Washington the day after the vote, to lobby a key senator for LIHEAP funding, prompting one Democratic aide to call him ''the Michael Brown of LIHEAP, a little late to the party."
But the governor's spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, said Romney is working closely with GOP leaders to secure funding through other legislation.
And Fehrnstrom couldn't resist throwing the barbs back. ''You get more with honey than vinegar," he said in a less-than-veiled reference to Kerry. ''It's times like this that Mitt Romney acts as the third senator from Massachusetts."
While in town, the state's third senator squeezed in an appearance at the 50th anniversary bash for National Review, the conservative magazine.
Third Senator my fat ass. I expect a 'Senator' from Massachusetts to actually like and respect the state he comes from and to hold it's people in high enough regard to not go around the country bad-mouthing them. Romney is a liar, a faker and a powerless shell of a Governor. He can't pass gas without the MA legislature's approval and he knows it. He is also way down in the polls and 56% of MA residents say it's time for a change.
What an asshole, trying to jump and do his 'Underdog' impression. "Here I am to save the day." Hey, Underdog, maybe you should go around CapHill and tell the asshole bastards who voted against allowing this bill to go on the Defense Appropriations Act to lighten up and let some real human beings in pain get some relief this winter. Showing up a day late and dollar short. Then pretending that your all-powerful self and your whopping three years in public office can somehow do what Sens. Kerry & Kennedy can't. What a friggin prick. I really, really hate this guy. I wish he would just resign and go away and bother some other state and it's people. (Utah? Michigan? California? Anywhere but here. We have suffered enough.)
A Senator? He's not fit to fetch coffee for the night shift cleaning crew at the State House and he fancies himself a Senator? Maybe he ought to hang out with Teddy and John for awhile. They can show him what an actual Senator does, and that doesn't include going to other states and making jokes about how out of touch you are with your own friggin voters. He can bite not just me, but the ass end of a rotting pig for all I care. Third Senator. Rot in hell you lying bastard.
