Stop me if you've heard this one

Gov. Beverly Perdue said it was "no joke."

At this point, it couldn't be.

In recent weeks, Perdue has frequently used a line about how she would drive to South Carolina to get the stimulus money Republican Gov. Mark Sanford said he didn't want.

Like a Catskills comedian working a room for the 100th time, Perdue used the line again during tonight's State of the State speech.

"It was no joke when I said if South Carolina's governor didn't want his federal recovery funds, as bad a driver as I am, I would drive a pickup truck down and I would get his share of the money," she said.

She also again offered to show residents of the Palmetto State how their neighbors to the north handle "tough times."

Ha, ha, ha Matt. That's so good.

I guess I never thought of it that way.

So what you're saying is YOU pave the potholes in your road and just charge a toll to recoup it because you are Mad Max.

Now I get your plan!

Thanks.

I get your joke RTB, but I don't know if you get the one on us yet.

The economy sucks. Bush did it. You'll be laid off next.

Republicans are screaming NO to help.

But I just did an analysis on the tax money coming back to my district on top of my tax break.

Hell yes.

If tax breaks and getting my money back to work for me are Socialism, I AM A SOCIALIST!
