Press Release: Republican Members of House Appropriations Committee Declare Dinner a Success and Budget Vote Hopeful
Republican members of the House Appropriations Committee reiterated their commitment to ensuring a strong, safe, and fiscally responsible America over roast chicken, penne, butternut squash, cabernet sauvignon (2002 – a good year Republicans), brie and aged gouda.Frank “the Wolf” Wolf (R-VA), chicken leg in hand, declared “safe highways for our children, no cuts to first responders, and no prison rape!”
Ralph Regula (R-OH), swirling his wine, affirmed, “Mount McKinley shall be safe from assaults on the sanctity of President William McKinley’s memory, just as steel workers’ hard earned dollars will be safe from excessive taxation.”
Jerry Lewis (R-CA), Chair of the Appropriations Committee, proclaimed “Our party is the watchdog for national security and we support the President’s efforts to defend our homeland. Es muy importante. If we don’t protect Americans, at home and abroad, I will cry.”
Sounding a hopeful note for next week’s budget vote, C.W. Bill Young (R-FL) extolled the virtues of bi-partisan cooperation stating “we look forward to working with our democratic colleagues to fashion a mutually satisfactory and fiscally prudent budget to ensure a competitive 21st century America in which the entrepreneurial spirit and my hopes for a bone marrow donor registry can both thrive.”

Gee, I'm glad that Republican members have time to literally sip wine and eat brie while they're taking food out of the mouths of school children, cutting benefits for fixed-income seniors and cutting off medical benefits for military families. I feel better already.
