[UPDATE]: I’m hearing that Scott Rigell will be working with the NRCC. Another good recruitment pickup for next year.
It’s amazing how quickly Democratic Congressmen pick up the bad habits of their older colleagues. In Glenn Nye’s (VA-02) case, shameless double-talk. The NRCC is happy to point out how you can’t really be proud of getting a cap-and-trade bill passed that you cynically voted against:
It actually gets even better than the campaign commercial says: according to this Democratic site, Rep. Nye bragged about his support and opposition to the cap-and-trade bill to the same person (via Jim Geraghty). Just in case the posts go away later, here are the screen captures:
Seldom does one see this level of self-serving nonsense by a Democratic Congressman be so brilliantly expressed.

PS: He has a GOP challenger, of course. Scott Rigell, a local auto dealership owner, former Marine, and long-time Republican with one heck of a buyer’s remorse at this point. Cook has the district at Rep+5, and this one’s on everybody’s list. Remove yet another seat from the Safe Democrat list: that’s been happening a lot lately, huh?

[UPDATE: Name typo fixed. It's late, sorry.]
Nye is my district Rep.
penguin2 Thursday, July 9th at 9:21PM EDT (link)I’ll have to see what I can do to see that he is not re-elected. He is a Iraq war veteran, and one of those the Dems recruited to run as a conservative against an incumbent Rep. Thelma Drake. He succeeded. The Dems poured a ton of money into this race in 2008, nasty ads, the works. The loss of the seat for the Repubs. was one of the losses that probably can be directly attributed to the anti-Bush, anti-incumbent all pervasive mood and tone of the election.
With any luck, we should be able to get it back.

Liers All

The definition of a politician: one who lies for a living.
Just lies and then more lies all of the time.
