Adventures in Wankitude

The latest spin on the attendance at the "912" demonstration from the wingnuts, which implies that they thought that the attendance was anemic, was that the Washington DC Metro was simply unprepared for accommodating "massive" influx of passengers.

You know, less than 80,000 riders on a system that accommodates over 900,000 riders a day is not a big surge.

More telling, however, is that one of the loudest voices complaining about the quality of service is Representative Kevin Brady (R-TX-8), who voted against additional funding to the DC Metro earlier this year.

Votes against funding the Metro, then complains that it lacks adequate resources.

Yes, the Republicans are literally demanding that Barack Obama make the trains run on time.
