After applying the smackdown on two snippy little MSNBC reporters last week, Judd Gregg is at it again. This time with Obama’s Budget Director, Peter Orszag.
Here’s a nifty little video where he smacks him around for attempting to take TARP funds and instead of paying them back, using them as a personal piggy bank to give them to community banks to lend to small businesses. Of course, this is from CNN, so the newscaster du jour is obviously on the side of Orszag. I mean, that Gregg is just “getting in the face” of the poor little dude. Awww. Sucks for him.
Orszag is kind of like a deer in the headlights as Gregg calls him and the administration out for basically not following the law. I get the impression that, if given the opportunity to get up and sneak out of there, he’d rather just slip away to the AV room for a bit until this Gregg guy stops being a meanie already.
I kind of heart Judd Gregg in this video. You can read the entire transcript of the scolding here.
It just keeps getting better and better, folks…
I knew at the the time TARP funds would not be used to pay down the deficit. Flogging is not good enough for these guys. This is theft of tax payer dollars, plain, pure, and simple.
Pay down the deficit? Why would they be used to do that? we’ll just re-write the laws until they fit what we want to do with this piggybank.
