Is there a word for what GOP governors are doing?

[ColbertWatcher]

(And I don't mean "hypocricy" or "assholishness")

They were vocally against it (unable to vote either way) but will gladly accept the money.

There has to be a word for it.

If not, I'm sure someone can come up with one.

1. Suicide

Howie Dean is correct. I dare them to refuse the money and raise constituents' taxes.

[ColbertWatcher]

2. Well that may be true, but maybe what I'm looking for is what word will THEY use ...

... to sell it.

[malaise]

3. Must be

snake oil

4. 5 GOP governors are grandstanding about refusing to take the money

I call what those 5 governors are doing a pissing contest to see who can pee the furthest the trouble is they are pissing on the people of their state. (LA, AK) and three others.

6. Okay, now we're getting somewhere.

We have to find a phrase that uses the word "Urinary" in it.

Which means we can also use trickle-down as well!

Thank you!

8. Anymore thats what I think of when I hear "trickle down economics"

10. I'm still curious as hell about why you would even bother to PM be as to whether or not

I'd ever been on movie sets before or not.

Sorry, but it's my nature (and also my livelihood) to be curious.

11. They're urinary executives!

:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

15. LOL! n/t

7. Grandstanding is correct because all 51 governors are going to have to pass on some of the money

These five are doing nothing the others aren't going to be doing.

[camera obscura]

5. Talking out of both sides of their mouths? Having their cake and eating it too?

[Catshrink]

9. Positioning?

Maybe that's too easy.

Stupidity? That's too simplistic.

Futility? Those damn tax and spend libruls forced us to take the money. (Tax and spend is responsible; cutting taxes and continuing to spend is irresponsible (Reagan, Bush).


Pawlenty was trying to save his sorry ass on Hardball tonight.

12. I believe it's called FREELOADING

if they raised their voices against it but will still take the money.

:evilgrin:

[stillcool]

13. Typical

[MineralMan]

14. Hypocrisy

That's the word.

[applegrove]

20. That is it.

[KamaAina]

16. How about "Jindalism"?

sounds sort of like "vandalism", plus Piyush stepped in a similar pile last year over a legislative pay raise.

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. Douchebaggery. n/t

[DemoTex]

18. Pandering

They pander to their base, then take the money.
