Click and Clack is the problem
The House recently voted to deny funding to NPR. Conservatives always say that it’s liberally-biased. But I’m guessing they’ve never even listened to it. Then again, maybe reality is just liberally-biased.
Anyway, here’s my favorite quote from the debate of the bill. This is Representative Anthony Weiner of New Work, discussing the popular (and very funny) program “Car Talk”:
Crisis averted, ladies and gentlemen. I’m glad we got the economy back going. I’m so glad we secured our nuclear power plants. So glad Americans are back to work. We discovered a target we can all agree upon. It’s these guys. This is the problem. – it’s Click and Clack.
Now, let’s look at the record here. For one, they talk in that Boston accent. “Car Talk.” It’s car, congressmen. Second, they talk about master cylinders. It’s kinky. I am glad my Republican friends are finally getting to the bottom of this.
All of these guys that finally are going to be taken off the public payroll. The Republican party, no one can say they are not in touch. They get it. They understand where the American people are. The American people are not concerned about the economy around the world. They’re staring at their radio station saying, ‘Get rid of Click and Clack.’
