But.. but... Big Biz loves them the Rushpublics, right? ::sniffle, quavery voice:: Ri-i-ght?

The Chamber of Commerce is publicly thanking Democrats who took political risks for supporting the economic stimulus package, striking yet another blow to the traditional alliance of Republicans and big business.

The Chamber broke with the GOP to support the $787 billion stimulus package, angering some Republicans who have long thought of Big Business as an ally.

Yes. ::snurfle:: It's true. They broke up. First, Bristol and Levi, now Chamber and Rushpublicans. ::blubber glubber blurble:: The world as they know it has gone completely topsy turvey on them. Waaaah!

Late last month, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters that he “wasn’t happy” with the Chamber’s support for the bill.

Note to The Faux-Tanned Boehner: Think about investing in Kleenex.
