The way in which Rachel Maddow skewered Congressman Schock this morning on Meet the Press was stunning.  Rachel diverted from the usual feigned politeness which we normally see on Sunday morning television  in order to rail against Schock’s duplicity.

Maddow, not known for her shyness, lept at the opportunity to shine a spotlight on Congressman Schock’s hypocrisy as it relates to the Stimulus Bill.  For those who don’t know, Schock was ‘against it before he was for it’.  As Rachel pointed out, Schock went back home to his district and took credit for a stimulus project which he’d vehemently opposed while in Congress.

How did the young Schock (the name is just such a contradiction) defend himself?  By basically saying that his community is entitled to the same pork that all other districts receive.  This is what you call a man (boy) standing by his principles!
