HORSERACE

Maybe He Has a Split Personality

Virginia congressman Glenn Nye, a Democrat, has been caught sending two different pieces of mail to constituents on the same legislation:

In one email, Nye said I will be pleased to know the bill passed, praising it as "a comprehensive approach that charts a new course toward a clean energy economy" and "will create jobs, help end our dangerous dependence on foreign oil, and combat global warming" (without ever mentioning that he voted against it).

In the other email, Nye said I will be pleased to know that he voted against it "because we do not need another tax on American families during this time of economic hardship."

Oops!  Nye can't have it both ways.

Look, whatever your position is, you can be reassured that Nye agrees with you.

UPDATE: This post originally named him "Bill," as in The Science Guy.
