Oh yeah. This is absolutely brilliant.
Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) is running campaign-style Web ads for a "tele-town hall" on "out of control spending" that are financed by taxpayer dollars -- and the ads were OKed as permissible under House rules.
Adding... Speaking of contradictions. This morning, albino sleestak Mitch McConnell was blasting the national debt, warning against "government-run healthcare," AND griping about cuts in Medicare. I couldn't even begin to diagram how those three opinions conflict with each other. This is the actual leader of the congressional Republicans, folks. And, as Rachel says, he's not embarrassed.
