Washington is an out of control crack whore.

According to Campbell Brown's latest commentary on the financial crisis,

1) over 1/3 of the $700 billion in the September bailout package has already been spent with no oversight;
2) the so-called "oversight" that Congress had demanded as a condition for doling out the money has YET to be appointed by the White House and Capitol Hill;
3) Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is now saying he doesn't believe that the money has been spent in the right way, and he wants to re-direct the remaining 2/3;
4) ... and the inspector general of the Treasury Department, according to the Washington Post, has admitted: "It is a mess. I don't think anyone understands right now how we're going to do proper oversight of this thing."

Yes, Washington is a crack whore. And the crack rock she WILL and MUST have, come hell or high water, is our money. Billions and billions of dollars of our money.

So why do we continue to allow the crack whore to smoke billions of our money into oblivion?
