And~ this from Gerard Sheilds

“My friend is fast wearing out his welcome,” said Dorgan, who kept pointing his finger at Vitter. “My friend might want to learn the words thank you, thank you to this chamber.”
Vitter refused to back down, saying that his hold on the promotion of Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh to major general was warranted because the corps has failed to move on critical Louisiana flood control projects and has repeatedly failed to meet report deadlines. “I’m disappointed my distinguished colleague is continuing to blindly, in my opinion, be a fierce defender of a bureaucracy that is clearly broken,” Vitter said.

Poor Fargo Dorgan wants that BILLION Dollar Flood Diversion Project the Corps is trying to Sell them and MN.
This is a Perfect example of how the Corps of Engineers says that "We don't Lobby members of Congress." Yeah, well, riiiiight.
But their friendly contractors indeed do! Like the way the Mafia never "Lobbied" their protection plans to the neighborhood.
But lest ye'wonda who is the Real Insubordinate Asshole here, allow us to introduce Brigadier General Michael Walsh, Commander, Division Engineer, Mississippi Valley Division
US Army Corps of Engineers and Yes'Mam of Yes'Men at the Full Committee hearing entitled, "New Orleans Hurricane and Flood Protection and Coastal Louisiana Restoration: Status and Progress."
~I swear if we hear another "soldier" like General White Walsh pine and crow to Congress about their service to the country then we outta get all the purple hearts we can find in the pawn shops and shove them up their whiny fey ass one at a time.
