"A congressman at work is...

a hypocrite at play" said someone famous...and a good example of the above aphorism can be found here.
Plainly speaking, Rep. Reichert (GOP-WA) is a coward, he was one staffer combing the stimulus bill for potential GOP talking points while another tries to get some of it's cashola routed to needy constituents.
Reichert presents himself as a salt of the earth pragmatist who can't be bullied, except by his own caucus leadership that got a "no" vote out of him when the bill came to a vote two weeks ago.
I if was running against this dingbat I'd start with "Congressman Reichert will do ANYTHING for his constituents except appropriate any money to save their homes, bank accounts or jobs!"
