Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) doesn't understand irony

At least Rep. Brady is trying to support the call for smaller government; though I'm not sure he really understands what that means.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Brady sent a letter to the Washington METRO on Wednesday demanding an explanation for the lack of increased service during the "tea-party protest" this weekend. The problem, of course, is that the protest was against taxpayer-funded big government spending, which would include things like, oh, public transportation.

As WSJ blogger Brody Mullins put it:

"Rep. Kevin Brady asked for an explanation of why the government-run subway system didn’t, in his view, adequately prepare for this past weekend’s rally to protest government spending and government services. "

But, you know what, I'm actually going to give Brady some credit for this. At least he's showing that he cares about the movement, even if he's got a funny way of trying to help out. It just goes to show that even the politicians who disagree with big government spending lack the ability to think of any other alternative. At least there is hope for people like Brady, he just needs a little help to see the light.
