What I’m Smiling About: “Benedict” Arlen Spector gets booed!

Spector gets what he's had coming

I loathe Sen. Arlen Spector about as much as a I loathe Sen. Harry Reid.  Both seem after the same goal: adulation from the media and the intelligentsia-type crowd.  I wonder how they can haul the weight of their egos around all day.

So, my cold conservative heart warmed when I saw (via Michelle Malkin) that Sen. Spector was booed by conservatives:

U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter was greeted with jeers at a press conference in Cranberry Township.

Conservatives are fuming after Specter cast the deciding vote that led to the passage of President Barack Obama’s stimulus plan.

Specter, 79, acknowledges his run for re-election will be tough.

He says he’s not completely happy with Obama’s plans but he points out that he was able to cut the price tag by over $100 billion and he says he was able to increase the amount of tax cuts.

Even so, Specter acknowledges the Republican Party’s conservative wing will attempt to unseat him in next year’s primary race.

Six years ago, Specter barely won the Republican primary, but he says he’s not afraid to fight for the job one more time.

I can’t wait to watch the conservative “wing” of the party “unseat” him during a primary race.  Wonderful!  It’s time to clean house!

Here’s Michelle Malkin’s post.
