When a new source of taxation is found it never means, in practice, that the old source is abandoned. It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had one before. -- H.L. Mencken

The Junior Ted Stevens

Posted by Dominic Rupprecht - August 09, 2007

Drew Carey on hosting The Price is Right and The Power of Ten:
"I thought about it. You're giving way prizes all day and making everybody happy. I really can't complain. Honestly, my whole take on it has turned around now. Now I think you couldn't do better. Here's a car, here's some money. And it's not even your money. You're giving away money and getting credit for it. I feel like a congressman. I'm like the junior Ted Stevens."


H/T: The dazzlingly brilliant Demian Brady.
