FLASH! Misfortune has followed Rep. Pete Sessions, chief of the Republicans’ campaign arm in the House, who was misunderstood as saying that earmarks were “a symbol of a broken Washington to the American people,” but he forgot to add "except when they're not."
Sessions clearly knows what he is talking about readers: He wisely helped earmark money to promote our nation's indispensably vital dirigible research at a prestigious yet little known Illinois company, to the sum of 1.6 million. This company's utter inexperience in the field of lighter than air aviation is, by Session's thinking, neither relevant nor important. (This reporter dares to think it might be a sly play on Session's part... considering how desperately our fragile and vulnerable nation need dirigibles, and how few we see in today's skies; could this be a smart move to go with a no name company? In the interest of national security, this reporter says yes).
Also, the honorable Sessions, who has been "quasi-quoted" often as saying *friends before god and country* (this reporter has it on good authoritative hearsay), has demonstrated how effective Republicans are at combining money with friendship. Sessions managed to kill two Hindenburgs with one incendiary via this earmark, benefiting not only an untried, inexperienced company, but also to line the needful pockets of a good friend. (Take it from this reporter, if you don't have a Republican friend in your back pocket, you've got a broke-ass Democrat, some lint and a canceled Macy's card instead. Feh.)
Jim G. Ferguson IV, of Jim G. Ferguson & Associates, the company that won the contract earmarked by the earmark, could not be reached for comment, or at least, as a man with exactly zero knowledge of airships, could not be reached for any relevant comment.
