Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Alpena County Regional Airport received a $85,500 grant, but had only 7,519 passenger boardings in 2008 (the most recent year for which there is information) according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data. Alpena County Regional Airport serves fewer passengers than even the late Rep. John Murtha's famous “Airport for Nobody.”

Delta County Airport has even less customers than that, but still received a $179,209 grant.

Chippewa County International Airport received a $461,700 grant, but had only 13,733 passenger boardings in 2008.

I owe Stupak an apology. I thought he had sold out for the mere promise from the president who has broken them all.

Now I learn, it was for the money. $700,000+. As the pro-lifers like to say, how much is one life worth? In Michigan at least, now we know.

LOL

7,000 passengers. That's 30 planes, all year long.

No wonder I've never heard of the place.

May as well name one of them after Stupak. Nobody will care, and he'll have something to show for cashing in his pro-life credentials. "Look kids! See the sign! That's our name!"

Wow.

From the article "This funding is provided to the FAA through the regular federal appropriations process and is awarded through competitive grants."

Sorry R-Turds. You can't even claim Rep Stupak was trying to hide this. HE SENT THE INFO ON MARCH 19 IN A PRESS RELEASE.

Boy you pants pissers are desperate.

2 days before the vote.

I'm sure the 2 have nothing to do with another.

who knows....maybe this can be called the "Airport to Nowhere"

OOOHHHH!!! Look......SOMETHING SHINY.

Code Red to the true believers.

Ummm, yeah. March 19th was last Friday.

"Look at me! Working hard for you!" I digress. No doubt air traffic over that little part of the Upper Peninsula is that much safer. I mean, at 100 planes a year, it sure gets crowded up there!

Same old, same old.

Sniverly better start checking the want-ads, the insurance industry will start having to cut back on fat-assed stooges.

He's probably the biggest loser besides Hillary and her battle with Israel.

In related news, Stupak promised no abortions would be performed on flights originating from Alpena County Regional Airport.

The cost of doing business, apparently. Though I'd have thought he'd have gotten more by holding out so long. Guess he's not a strong negotiator.

Thanks for the update. I heard Dewey won too.

The Stupak Tarmac.

I still like the Abortion Portion.
