Jindal and Castle are exactly the same. They are both political opportunists, only their constituencies have different views.

Agreed, Cassandra, Jindal is full of it. Just like Castle – all bark, no bite.

You know, in Markell’s original presser about it, Castle wasn’t mentioned as one of the invited
Congressional Delegation…I guess Carper insisted he be allowed to share the stage even though the fucker didn’t vote for the booty.

Jindal is posturing. Like the majority of them, he is not so much interested in the business of principle as he is in how much cable TV time he gets. And he’ll get on TV and tell the world that he didn’t say what he so very obviously did.

And Castle is posturing too. He had no intention of representing his constituents, so he makes a claim for unargued package faults, but now he is delighted to know that Delawareans will be getting some of the deal.

If we find Castle at the ribbon cutting for any of the projects for this thing, we really need to get someone there to ask him why he is taking credit for a thing he voted against.

Talk about having your cake and eating it, too! He should stand by his vote. Hey, he should advocate what Jindal is threatening to do – not take the money!

The word "however" appears 215 times on Castle's web site. to give a context the word: liberty appears 136 times.

He can’t even get the name of the bill right. He calls it the “Economic Stimulus Package” instead of ARRA.

What’s next – references to his colleagues in “the Democrat Party?”

Someone should make a scarlet “NO!” and tag it to his massive ear.

“Last week, I opposed HR 1, not because I opposed a stimulus to the American people, but because the contents surpassed a targeted attempt at economic stabilization.”

Nothing wrong with that.

They could have continued to work through the weekend (while Obama was at his expensive Valentine’s dinner in Chicago and Pelosi could have skipped her boondoggle to Rome) and made a better bill (or at least be able to read it before they voted on it).

Good for him for voting NO.

There’s that word again. “However…” Captain Jellospine does it again.
