They Knew The Risks When They Elected Us – I Say “Screw ‘em!”

[20score]

“Well yeah,” drawled Senator Shelby when asked about the upcoming debate. “I don’t work for no Detroit or no union, so why should I care if it all goes down the tubes?”

Shelby was being interviewed by Larry Elder on local Mobile Alabama station WTF about the situation concerning the auto industry; and by extension the financial industry’s bailout. Senator Shelby was seated with Senators Corker, Kyl and Chambliss.

“Now the rest of these guys voted to give the banks all the money we got,” said Shelby. “I didn’t because I want to save some for Big Pharma and Energy. Gotta give them sumthin before it’s gone”

“Well, it’s about priorities, Richard,” Saxby Chambliss said. “The point is we all agree - give all the money out – just not to those damn union people and their workers!”

“Right!” they all said in unison, smiling and nodding to each other.

"We got a pool going to see how many trillions we can give out before the people wake up and shut it down," said Senator Kyl with thoughts of still being in the running going through his head.

“You brought up something at the hearings yesterday, Senator Corker,” said Larry Elder, ignoring Sen. Kyl. “And it’s helped all of us propagandists, um, I mean talk show hosts, clear up what’s going on. You pointed out correctly, and I’ll be repeating it every hour, that $19,000.00 of every car made goes to union dues. We – the talk show hosts – love it when you give us ammo like that. Helps us in our jobs. Now, what do you say to those traitorous, left wing, anti-Bush people out there that want congress to save jobs and have accountability for the money that is handed out?”

“We were never in this for them!” shouted Richard Shelby. “Not for one damn day! It’s not about them or their jobs… And they knew the risks when they voted for us – I say screw ‘em!”

With that the other Senators and the host nodded with satisfaction. Richard had summed up their position very succinctly.
