The WaPO reports that the teabaggers are complaining that the government (in the form of the Metro) wasn’t prepared to handle their protest and they had to resort to private transportation.
A Texas congressman sent a letter Wednesday to Metro General Manager John B. Catoe Jr. demanding an explanation for why the transit agency didn’t do more to prepare for the massive influx of conservative activists at Saturday’s march on the Mall.
Rep. Kevin Brady (R) said an 80-year-old woman and her 60-year-old daughter were forced to walk and pay for a cab because the subway system was so crowded. He said he heard many complaints from people who traveled long distances to attend the event, which served to challenge some of President Obama’s signature policies.
It almost goes without saying that Mr. Brady voted against the stimulus package, including funding for Metro improvements.
were forced to use the private option, and take taxis? The horror!
Irony or hypocrisy, or just precious?
No more so than this fine diary.
