Give the stimulus money that states reject to the Special Olympics
They could probably use the money right now, anyway.

And if Sarah Annoying Accent wants to reject Alaska's cut, for example, then fine, send it to the Special Olympics.

1. First of all, its not like extra money trying to find something to be spent on.
This is special money that will be borrowed to stimulate the economy. If some states reject it then split it between other states, or invest it in infrastructure.

2. Oh, right...send Alaska's $170M to the Special Olympics???
...and that's just Alaska...

You don't think we could come up with something a little more useful to do with that amount of money?

...maybe force (or coerce) the states to take it?

3. Oh, the mother-of-the-year will end up taking it.
Just like Jindal will. It's just a matter of time before her dense mind realizes her political "slip".
