JUST TRYING TO BE PATRIOTIC HERE, FOLKS….I missed this a few days ago, but apparently the Pentagon is under pressure to break a contract with a German company to supply it with paint. As usual, the demand comes from a congressman who wants to the contract awarded to a local firm.
The war with Iraq sure has been good for constituent services among our congressmen, hasn’t it?
UPDATE: And Matt Yglesias points to a TAPPED post reminding us that one of the companies that won a rebuilding contract in Iraq is part-owned by the bin Laden family. Not that there’s anything wrong with that….
