Shame on Kent Conrad.. This is nothing to smile about



Senate Budget Committee Chairman Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND), (R), holds a copy of U.S. President Bush's FY 2009 Budget after receiving it from the Robert Tapella, Public Printer of the U.S., inside the Senate Budget Committee hearing room on Capitol Hill in Washington February 4, 2008

7. Certainly worth hearing what Conrad had to say.
