Gov. Bredesen (D?-TN) May Reject Stimulus Funds Just Like His GOP Buddies


So Governor Phil Bredesen says he may join with his good old GOP buddy governors and reject stimulus funding that would extend and modernize the state's antiquated unemployment insurance program.

Actually I was kind of waiting for this. I mean when your so-called Democratic Governor slaughters health care rights for hundreds of thousands of sick, poor, elderly and disabled Tennesseans, why the hell would he lift a finger for the unemployed?

Can we please get some actual Democrats from the Democratic wing of the Democratic party in this Republican cursed state?

And over at Politico, Bredesen is still pining for that HHS position. In your freaking dreams, Phil "No Medicine" Bredesen, in your freaking dreams and everybody else's nightmare!
