The New York Delegation Gets Snarky  | Mon Feb. 23, 2009 1:04 PM
GMT  New York state's two senators want the president to know
that they can take a handout graciously, unlike some people.
From a press release sent out by their offices:   "New York
receives 78 cents from the federal government for every dollar
we send to Washington," wrote the senators [in a letter to the
president]. "If other states are willingly refusing federal
support in this time of economic crisis, New York should benefit
given our 'donor state' status."
