Via The Daily Caller comes this inside-the-beltway story:
More than a dozen Hill staffers got Botox injections this week after D.C.-area plastic surgeon Dr. Navin Singh offered the free treatment last Friday to the first 50 government employees who make an appointment as part of a “government shutdown” special. Singh kept the offer open even though Republicans and Democrats reached an agreement in the 11th hour to keep the government running.
By Tuesday, Singh had already injected 15 staffers with the skin-smoothing chemical free of charge, with more appointments lining up.
“We have been able to fit 15 in so far on Monday, Tuesday,” Singh told The Daily Caller. “Several more requests from staffers and people of Capitol Hill pending.”
How many men signed up for the $400 treatment? You’ll have to click here to find out.

Posted on April 14, 2011 at 3:14amIf she admits that we’re broke, she also admits that there is no money with which she can buy votes. No purchased votes means no more power in Washington. Perhaps we’ll see a decline in leftists when the parasites can no longer be bought.

Posted on April 14, 2011 at 2:17amSoros probably hired the good doc to inject a chip under their skin. He figured he could control most of them with a small chip; it took a new brain for Obama….lol. He gave Pelosi the botox bc he knew she was already a chip off the old block, so putting a chip in her was a waste. Let’s see how any republicans come under his control…lol.
