Liberals are having a high time hitting various Republicans, including our own Sen. Lamar Alexander and Rep. Zach Wamp, for hypocrisy on the economic stimulus. In all, there were 110 congressional Republicans who voted against the stimulus, then praised its effect.
According to the Associated Press, Wamp praised $71.2 million in economic stimulus funds for the Oak Ridge Lab in Tennessee. Wamp noted the funds would add "about 170 construction jobs."
The Washington Times reported: "Sen. Lamar Alexander, Tennessee Republican, who easily won re-election in 2008, said of the stimulus, "This is spending, not stimulus." But in a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the senator sought stimulus money for a project that he said would "create over 200 jobs in the first year and at least another 40 new jobs in the following years."
On Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" website, you can vote for Alexander as the biggest hypocrite in Congress and give our senator a coveted spot in the Hypocrisy Hall of Shame.

You've really stepped in it this time. Certainly not the first or last time, but this is a whopper.
