Say It Ain't So Already

Doug Lamborn (R-CO): Blue Ribbon Hypocrite

Colorado Republican congressman Doug Lamborn (his district includes Colorado Springs), leads the seven-member Colorado congressional delegation in “pork barrel” spending.  That according to the newly released Citizens Against Government Waste’s “Pig Book.”

According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, the “Pig Book” shows that,

…Lamborn’s earmarks for the fiscal year that began in October totalling $21.73 million, easily surpassing the $13.37 million total of Democratic Rep. John Salazar.

On the other end of the Colorado list were Reps. Mark Udall  and Marilyn Musgrave, who each had zero. Udall is now in the Senate and Musgrave was voted out of office.

That article was posted on April 14.  Yesterday, April 15, Lamborn had the gall to show his face at the “tea party” held in Colorado Springs  and to say this:

It should be that there’s a lot of Americans on both sides of the aisle who are concerned about the heavy spending and heavy taxation. It’s Democrats and Republicans alike.

I’m sure the crowd cheered.
