Did everyone suddenly forget about this tanker deal Boeing's been sucking dick to land?


The Boeing tanker is on a different airframe than the 787 so the WA Boeing plant would benefit from that contract.

Don't forget too that seven members of the Defense Appropriations Committee are under investigation by the House Ethics panel. Five of those are Dems, with your very own Norm Dicks included.

I still say dump them all and get a fresh bunch of crooks in there.


Sorry, it has to do with Quid Pro Quo politics of "What are you going to do for my district that is going to make me look like a hero and get me re-elected?"
