Rush Limbaugh defends Merrill Lynch extravagance as stimulus

Hat tip to Bob Sackamento, who diaried on DailyKos this gem from wrong-wing blubberbrain Rush Limbaugh, by way of National Review Online:

Obama was angry that Merrill Lynch used $1.2 million of TARP money to remodel an executive suite. Excuse me, but didn't Merrill have to hire a decorator and contractor? Didn't they have to buy the new furnishings? What's the difference in that and Merrill loaning that money to a decorator, contractor and goods supplier to remodel Warren Buffet's office? Either way, stimulus in the private sector occurs. Are we really at the point where the bad PR of Merrill getting a redecorated office in the process is reason to smear them? How much money will the Obamas spend redecorating the White House residence?
