Government Spending is Bad.
Unless, That Is, Government Spends Money In My Constituency.
Then It is A-OK With Me!!

Among the critics of government energy spending, Sen. "Diaper Dave" Vitter wanted the Obama Administration to spend government money on alternative energy programs in Louisiana. So did such other fearless critics of government spending like Sen. Mitch McConnell and Congressmen Fred Upton, Cliff Stearns, and Lamar Smith, all of whom alternated between lambasting the alternative energy program and begging for money from that program to go to their states.


Hence the title of this post.

Along similar lines, two other Republican stalwart defenders of the public purse, Senators Saxby Chambliss and John Cornyn, are doing their utmost to make sure that the Department of Defense continues to pur money into the F-35 program.

I gather that being embarrassed by one's own blatant hypocrisy is something that politicians like these ambulatory mouse-turds have to get over.
