This has been circulating around the Hill today; some kind, cruel soul from there took the trouble to forward it to me. Twenty-four hours and they still haven’t fixed recovery.gov: remember how we got told that the new administration was going to bring us into this new, wonderful Web 2.0 reality? These guys can’t even get a database up and running properly. Heck, they can’t even be bothered to check typical search results for garbage before they take said database live.

SEN. LEGHORN ANNOUNCES $14.7 MILLION FOR TEXAS; ‘YEE, HAW!’ HE ADDS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*
WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Foghorn J. Leghorn, D-State, announced Tuesday that he had won an extra $14.7 million in stimulating funds from the solicitous Obama Administration for the people of seven congressional districts in Texas.
“This funding will go for good,” the Senator said. “Why, son, 98 hardworking, taxpaying, aging, poor, honest, hungry, working-class, middle-class, undereducated, disadvantaged, undercounted, overlooked, underprivileged, overtaxed and uninsured constituents of my good friends and esteemed colleagues in the 52nd, 58th, 86th, 00th, 68th, 91st, and 85th Congressional Districts of Texas deserve every penny,” he added. “Yep, they can shore count on me. Vote Leghorn! Yee, haw!”
Following is an official, premeditated account* of the stimulating funds provided by the Obama Administration through Sen. Leghorn’s good offices:
Texas Congressional District Jobs Amount
52nd congressional district 0 $8,937,289
58th congressional district 45 $3,659,694
86th congressional district 6 $943,326
00 congressional district 11 $752,292
68th congressional district 1 $310,963
91st congressional district 30 $57,367
85th congressional district 5 $56,661
Stimulus Total: $14,717,592
Jobs Total: 98
*Please don’t call Sen. Leghorn’s office about this. He’s busy working on health care today. For further information on this gracious investment of job-creating government money, please “track the money” through the President’s Recovery website, http://www.recovery.gov/Pages/TextView.aspx?data=stateSummaryAllCD&statecode=TX

tjexcite (Diary) Tuesday, November 17th at 8:30PM EST (link)The latest poll has TX-45 R+20 and the former Republican congressman George P. Dawg has a good feeling that he will return to the seat he has held off and on for a total of 12 terms.

Keep in mind that Congressman Dawg would never have lost his seat in the first place...
Third Street (Diary) Wednesday, November 18th at 12:53AM EST (link)…if Kay Bailey Hutchison hadn’t suddenly decided not to resign her Senate seat after all only a few months before the primary during the last governor’s race, leaving Dawg, who’d spent all his time prepping a run for the Senate, out in the cold.

Kyle-MI (Diary) Tuesday, November 17th at 8:39PM EST (link)This is monumental political incompetence by the Obama administration. It is not just one or two phantom districts and not even in one or two states. Are there worse things that they are doing wrong? Yes, but this is so incompetent that it is a joke.
To think I'm vastly more qualified than who made this error... (nt)
