Politics Lite - corporate merger ... Montanahoe

.
A really good episode of Colbert with Christine Todd Whitman discussing state budget shortfalls, and Chris Matthews defending JFK's legacy.

".... We got somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 states. We could lose a few. I mean, do we really need two Dakotas? And NEW Hampshire? I'm sure the old one's fine. ... There are like 4 states that are not in the red. Why can?t those states just absorb the states around them like a corporate merger? .... Like Montanahoe..... 46 states flirting with unknown territory. This is virgin snow, except it?s not snow; it?s poop."

"Camden (NJ) has tried to make up their budget shortfall by cutting half the police force. Don?t you think that?ll lead to fewer crimes? Because you know the old saying - 'If a tree assaults you in a forest and there?s noone there to arrest it, did a crime really happen?'..."
