TPM:
Rep. Frank Guinta (R-NH) kicked it old school on Thursday by cutting the ribbon on a new road that received millions from the same spending bill he opposed.
Guinta spoke at the opening ceremony for Raymond Wieczorek Drive, a new access road connecting various towns to the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Later he posted a picture of the event on his official Facebook page. Other attendees included Gov. John Lynch (D) and New Hampshire House Speaker William O’Brien.
“It’s going to help us with our tourism, our economy, and it’s going to provide us greater flexibility for our residents, our business commuters, and those visiting our state,” Guinta said at the event. “It’s a real example of how when we put our mind to it we can accomplish anything we want to accomplish.”
Rinse, repeat. We need a new name for this ridiculous phenomenon in which an anti-government politician denounces government spending while happily taking credit for that same spending once he's back in his own district. Support for something and opposition to it at the exact same time ... Sopposition? Denouncebration? Pandertunity? No clue. Ah well.
