Meet the hypocrites: Senator Mike Crapo

Now that the Senate is wrapping up a week-long hiatus to talk to the folks at home, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) is doing his best to support President Obama's stimulus package. There's nothing like having to face your constituents, for a politician to start doing what they can to meet those needs. The problem here is, Mike Crapo didn't vote for the stimulus package. But you wouldn't know it based on his comments this week.

"Approximately $400 million plus, maybe as much as $465 million will come to INL right here in Idaho for hundreds of new jobs and a significantly expedited clean up activity," enthused Crapo.

Sorry, Mike. We have to call you on the load of manure you're spreading across the fields of Idaho. You don't get to oppose the President's plan, vote lock-step with your leadership and then take credit for the good it does. It doesn't work that way.
