Let's Establish a Waste and Efficiency Tip Line... and then Another One

I caught a rerun of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night on television. The bit of news involved the $22 billion in cash lost in Iraq during Paul Bremer's time there. Both political parties want to be seen as addressing this problem, but sadly not as a team.

The Democrats have established a committee to address government waste, fraud and abuse at www.oversight.house.gov while the Republicans have done the same at www.Oversight@Mail.House.gov

"We seem to have rival tip line websites," observed California Representative Henry Waxman.

In order to make sure that the point was not lost, Jon Stewart quipped:

"The House Oversight Committee established a waste and inefficiency tip line... and then another one!"

Sometimes the U.S. government makes the comedian's job too easy.
