Nice Try, Ass Clowns!

Of course, I know that no one would ever hire me to write headlines...

But here's how damned dumb the Republicans think we are: they had this nifty little plan to have Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson give up his senate seat to become the new Secretary of Agriculture, but Ben has more than half a reptilian brain and politely declined the "spirit of bipartisanship" offer.

And, as usually happens on Planet OH RIGHT SURE, as soon as it looks like BushCo is about to be embarrassed, they loose the flying monkeys onto a docile media and muddy the waters...

Nelson reportedly declines Cabinet job

BY JAKE THOMPSON

WASHINGTON - Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson has told the White House he is not interested in becoming President Bush's agriculture secretary, a congressional source told The World-Herald on Thursday.

(D, Nebraska)

The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said White House political adviser Karl Rove called Nelson last Friday and asked if he would take the job if President Bush offered it. After consideration over the weekend, Nelson said no Wednesday evening, the source said.

Nebraska's other senator, Republican Chuck Hagel, said Thursday that he doubted whether Nelson ever was under serious consideration, and a second congressional source said no formal job offer had been extended to the Democrat.

"The White House has told this congressional staffer that reports that Nelson was offered the job of secretary of agriculture are inaccurate," said the second source. LINK

BushCo thinks we're stupid enough to give up a senate seat (thereby helping the Republicans move closer to a super majority) so Ben Nelson can happily co-sign government checks to Monsanto.?

Ass Clowns, the lot of them.
