Shameful

This is a little embarrassing.

In an analysis of potential committee heads if the Dems take control, one of Wisconsin's own was deemed liberal enough to be highlighted.

So who are the chairmen to be?

[...]

--a free-spending progressive from Wausau, Wis.

[...]

Rep. David Obey, the unapologetic liberal from Wisconsin, is eager to retake the gavel of the powerful Appropriations Committee, which holds the reins on government spending. He briefly led the committee in 1994 before the GOP landslide that year awarded control of Congress to Republicans. Obey came to Washington at the height of the Vietnam War; ever since, he has been an ardent opponent of GOP efforts to clamp down of domestic agency budgets that Congress approves each year.

I love how he's "free-spending." Not fiscally irresponsible, wasteful, or even free with taxpayer dollars--he's "free-spending."
