Congressman who bashed subway service opposed funding it

In a fit of aggrieved entitlement, Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) whined because the Washington, D.C., subway system wouldn't add special routes just for the Tea Party.

But guess what?

Brady voted against the stimulus package. The package provided a hefty sum to improve the very subway system that he complained was inadequate.

It was bad enough that Brady complained that public transportation didn't do enough to serve participants in a protest against government spending. But grumbling about public transportation being inadequate after voting against funding it is totally obnoxious.

One wonders if this isn't like how the Bush regime kept defunding public services just so they could say private services were better. Clearly, however, that's not the case here - as Brady also griped about the taxi services that Tea Party participants used.
