like a zombie from "dawn of the dead" republican criticism of the stadium lus has risen from a brief slumber. this story in the "countdown," president obama isn't afraid of a few ghouls and he's fighting back, forcing republican critics to howl in monstrous hypocritical agony. you may recall republican senator jon kyl of arizona said they should cancel the rest of the stimulus spending because it was a failure. the obama administration acted as though he meant what he said. four different cabinets wrote to the governor of arizona asking if she agreed with senator kyl. the transportation secretary. if you prefer to forfeit the money we are making available to your state as senator kyl suggests please let me know. a three-page list paid for by the $521 million that arizona is getting. republican governor made it clear her state wanted the money adding, the governor is hopeful that the federal cabinet officials are not threatening to deny arizona citizens a portion of the federal stimulus to which they are entitled. governor, you might want to take that up with the junior senator from y
