Vodkapundit weighs in with a conversation he had with some anti-Bush types in NYC, a few blocks from the World Trade Center:
bq. On Monday, I talked about some of the anti-Bush venom I'd heard in New York over the previous weekend. One particular noisy conversation, overheard whether I liked it or not (my fiancee and I were trying to have lunch a few feet away) was between a self-declared unemployed 30-ish programmer and an old retired guy who were drinking away their afternoons at a Village bar.
bq. Most of it was standard-issue liar-crooked-moron blather, and unremarkable except for the volume. But then the younger guy started in on last year's appropriation for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan:
bq. "I mean, $86 billion? What the filth is that? What the hell is he doing spending all that money over there? We could be fillin' potholes with that."
