So Rachel Maddow takes Rep. Aaron Schock to task for his hypocrisy on the spending bill in Washington.  What you have is a classic bit of television that you rarely see– A classy exchange where the facts are laid out on the table.

“You, in your district, I just read that you were at a community college touting a $350,000 green technology education program, talking about how great that was going to be for your district,” she said. “You voted against the bill that created that grant. That’s happening a lot with Republicans sort of taking credit for things that Democratic bills do and then Republicans simultaneously touting their votes against them and trashing them. That, I think, is a problem that needs to be resolved within your caucus. Because you seem like a very nice person but that is a very hypocritical stance to take.”

Rachel Maddow is the only journalist out there who is bright enough to hold interviewee’s accountable. She obviously does her homework, is well prepared, and not much gets by her. There is a reason most Republicans by pass her invitations since the scent of hypocrisy precedes them. Rachel’s acumen and performance is one of the best in the business
